Paris SG coach Thomas Tuchel left goalkeeper Keylor Navas on the bench and restored his confidence to striker Edinson Cavani, who started on Sunday against Bordeaux in Ligue 1, according to official compositions.
The Uruguayan was left on the bench for defeat at Dortmund in the Champions League on Tuesday.
Cavani, in quest of his 200th goal with PSG, will be associated with Kylian Mbappé in attack, in an eleven which includes Neymar and Angel Di Maria. Or four offensive players, unlike the scheme launched on the field of Dortmund (2-1), where a system with three central defenders had been favored by the German technician.
The main change on the Parisian side is the replacement of Navas by Sergio Rico in goals, the Costa Rican being usually the irremovable goalkeeper of PSG in L1.
The German Thilo Kehrer is positioned to the right of the defense, in the absence of Thomas Meunier and Colin Dagba, respectively sick and injured. This will be a test for the young defender (23 years old), who could play in this position during the 8th return of C1 on March 11, Meunier being suspended.
On the left, Juan Bernat was established, having been preserved in Dortmund due to his lack of rhythm.
On the Girondins side, striker François Kamano will start on the bench, Paulo Sousa having aligned Samuel Kalu.
