Montpellier (AFP)
The two stars of Paris SG Kylian Mbappé and Neymar are tenured together for the second time this season to play Saturday in Montpellier at the 17th day of Ligue 1.
The international tricolor and the Brazilian had started side by side Wednesday at the Parc des Princes during the success to Nantes (2-0), where they scored one goal each (on penalty for Neymar).
Both will play on one side of the Parisian attack to feed Argentine forward Mauro Icardi, tenured at the expense of his compatriot Angel Di Maria.
Without midfielder Marco Verratti and Uruguay striker Edison Cavani, spared in terms of a thigh and calf problem respectively, PSG will rely on a 4-3-3 organization, with a midfielder composed of Leandro Paredes, Pablo Sarabia and Idrissa Gueye.
Brazilian defender Marquinhos, who stayed on Friday with his partner who gave birth to their second child, has been left to rest by the club of the capital.
Presale Kimpembe, who has served a suspension match, and left-back Bernat will start in defense against Montpellier, where coach Michel Der Zakarian once again leaves the playmaker Florent Mollet, preferring the young Joris Chotard .
The teams:
Montpellier: Rulli - Souquet, Pedro Mendes, Hilton (Cape), Congre, Oyongo - Chotard, Le Tallec, Savanier - Laborde, Delort
Paris SG: Navas - Meunier, Silva (cape), Kimpembe, Bernat - Gueye, Paredes, Sarabia - Mbappe, Icardi, Neymar
Referee: Antony Gautier
