PSG predicted XI against Maccabi Haifa UEFA Champions League Group Stage

By Sushan Chakraborty Modified 13 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Paris Saint-Germain FC v FC Nantes - French Super Cup French champions Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) will travel to Israel for their Champions League Group H clash against Maccabi Haifa on Wednesday night (September 14). Christophe Galtier’s side secured a narrow 2-1 win over Juventus in their Champions League opener last week (September 6). The Israeli champions, on the other hand, fell to a 2-0 defeat to Benfica. The Parisians will be without three of their first-team players for their long trip to Israel. Presnel Kimpembe, who narrowly escaped a red card in Saturday’s (September 10) 1-0 win over Brest, has been ruled out with a hamstring injury. Renato Sanches is also set to sit this game out due an adductor problem. Finally, Keylor Navas will not travel to Israel due to lower back pain. Here’s how the French champions could line up in their second Champions League Group H fixture on Wednesday:

Goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma

Paris Saint-Germain v Kawasaki Frontale - Preseason Friendly Gianluigi Donnarumma was caught in no-man’s-land after coming out to collect Juventus midfielder Filip Kostic’s cross last week. His poor judgment allowed Weston McKennie to find the back of the Parisians’ unguarded net. OptaJean@OptaJean2 - Gianluigi Donnarumma made his second error leading to an opponent's goal in six Champions League matches for Paris. This is already a record for a PSG player since Opta began analysing this data (2007/08). Mistakes. #PSGJuve #PSGJUV173412 - Gianluigi Donnarumma made his second error leading to an opponent's goal in six Champions League matches for Paris. This is already a record for a PSG player since Opta began analysing this data (2007/08). Mistakes. #PSGJuve #PSGJUV https://t.co/e5n3kXeLLi Despite his costly mistake, Galtier kept him in goal against Brest, once again picking him ahead of Keylor Navas. The keeper redeemed himself by saving Islam Slimani’s 70th-minute penalty. Courtesy of his latest heroics and Navas' unfortunate back injury, Donnarumma is set to retain his spot under the crossbar on Wednesday.

Centre-back Sergio Ramos

Paris Saint-Germain FC v FC Nantes - French Super Cup Sergio Ramos has thus far featured in all nine of PSG’s games this season, scoring once. The Spaniard is seemingly getting more and more confident with each passing game, and it is unlikely that Galtier will risk hurting his progression.

Centre-back Marquinhos

Manchester City v Paris Saint-Germain: Group A - UEFA Champions League Like Ramos, Marquinhos has also taken part in every game for PSG across competitions this season. The Brazilian centre-back, who has one goal to his name, has looked comfortable in possession and rarely finds himself at the mercy of attackers. Paris Saint-Germain@PSG_EnglishGood stuff @marquinhos_m5, @kimpembe_3 & @gigiodonna1 57325Good stuff @marquinhos_m5, @kimpembe_3 & @gigiodonna1 https://t.co/QpQ5eyAs2J The Israeli champions, who have a perfect record in the league after four matches, could come charging out of the gates in front of their supporters. Marquinhos’ calmness could go a long way in helping the visitors remain in control.

Centre-back Danilo Pereira

Paris Saint-Germain v Urawa Red Diamonds - Preseason Friendly Galtier has used Danilo Pereira as part of his three-man back line this season. The defensive midfielder has taken nicely to his new role, putting in a decent shift whenever called upon. L'ÉQUIPE@lequipeDanilo Pereira favori pour remplacer Presnel Kimpembe en défense centrale

Avec l'absence pour plusieurs semaines de Presnel Kimpembe, Christophe Galtier devrait encore utiliser son polyvalent Portugais en défense centrale. ow.ly/wg2H50KGpe2673Danilo Pereira favori pour remplacer Presnel Kimpembe en défense centraleAvec l'absence pour plusieurs semaines de Presnel Kimpembe, Christophe Galtier devrait encore utiliser son polyvalent Portugais en défense centrale. ow.ly/wg2H50KGpe2 https://t.co/X3ZZR24LZd With Kimpembe out injured, Pereira could take his place on the left side of the back three. He could be vital in stopping Maccabi Haifa’s jet-heeled forward Frantzdy Pierrot.

Right-wingback Achraf Hakimi

Real Madrid v PSG: Round Of Sixteen Leg Two - UEFA Champions League Achraf Hakimi has been one of PSG’s standout performers this season. The Morocco international impressed with his runs, distribution, and link-up play in the Parisians’ Champions League opener last week, playing a little one-two with Mbappe before assisting his goal.

Central midfielder Marco Verratti

Real Madrid v PSG: Round Of Sixteen Leg Two - UEFA Champions League Marco Verratti has been ever-present under Galtier this season, playing every game under the Frenchman. Verratti is the glue that holds PSG’s midriff together and is expected to be present for his team’s second Champions League match of the season.

Central midfielder Vitinha

Paris Saint-Germain v Kawasaki Frontale - Preseason Friendly Vitinha has emerged as the perfect partner for Verratti this season. He is composed in possession, an excellent reader of the game, and always looks for ways to bring more advanced players into the fold. Paris Saint-Germain@PSGbrasil O motorzinho @vitinha

Left-wingback Nuno Mendes

Real Madrid v Paris Saint-Germain: Round Of Sixteen Leg Two - UEFA Champions League Galtier picked Juan Bernat ahead of Nuno Mendes in the 1-0 Ligue 1 win over Brest on Saturday. The former Bayern Munich man put in a decent shift, but it is unlikely that he will keep the effervescent Mendes out of the team for the second consecutive game. DCP@DCpete6McKennie puts Nuno Mendes on a poster.52McKennie puts Nuno Mendes on a poster. https://t.co/UlVD1ti7YD The Portuguese full-back has not been at his best this season and needs a good performance to boost his confidence. A solid outing in Israel could be the pick-me-up the young left-back needs.

Right winger Lionel Messi

Paris Saint-Germain v Kawasaki Frontale - Preseason Friendly Lionel Messi did not make much of an impact in PSG’s Champions League opener against Juventus. However, he was very much back in business in Ligue 1, providing a brilliant assist for his teammate Neymar in the win over Brest. LSPN FC@LSPNFC_THIS MESSI PIC IS SO COLD ?20727934THIS MESSI PIC IS SO COLD ? https://t.co/nXeuEAo6TT The Argentine, who has 11 goal contributions in nine games this season (4 goals, 7 assists) could once again be in the thick of things on Wednesday.

Center forward Kylian Mbappe

Paris Saint-Germain v Urawa Red Diamonds - Preseason Friendly Kylian Mbappe was the undisputed star in PSG’s Champions League opener against Juventus, scoring a brace in a 2-1 victory. Kyei Bernardo@KyeiBernardoKylian Mbappe on his idol, Cristiano Ronaldo21713Kylian Mbappe on his idol, Cristiano Ronaldo https://t.co/W6MyNNaeMw He failed to make a similar impact against Brest on Saturday, which could make him double determined to regain his platinum touch in front of goal against the Israeli champions.

Left winger Neymar

PSG v Gamba Osaka - Preseason Friendly With 10 goals and seven assists to his name (9 games across competitions), Neymar has emerged as the most effective forward in Europe this season. He brilliantly assisted Mbappe’s opener in the win over Juventus and scored the only goal in the Ligue 1 win over Brest. Paris Saint-Germain@PSG_espanolPase Control Golazo
