How will PSG line up against Juventus in Neymar’s absence? -Juvefc.com

On Wednesday, Juventus will look to avoid another European defeat when they host Paris Saint-Germain at the Allianz Stadium on the final day of the Champions League group stage.

The Bianconeri have officially withdrawn from the competition following their loss at the hands of Benfica last week, but still hope to finish third ahead of Maccabi Haifa to secure a place in the Europa League round of 16.

However, the French champions will not make it easy for them as they too are looking for a win to secure their place at the top of Group H.

But in the absence of the suspended Neymar, Christophe Galtier will have to make some adjustments to his starting lineup.

According to Sport Mole, PSG will adopt a 3-5-2 formation, led by Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé.

After leaking goals in their last two outings, the French will once again resort to a more cautious line-up, with three defenders at the back. Marquinhos, Sergio Ramos and Presnel Kimpembe should start ahead of Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Rather than introduce another striker as a direct replacement for Neymar, the source hopes Galtier will field Carlos Soler in midfield alongside Marco Verratti and Fabian Ruiz, while Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes will take the wings.

PSG Expected XI (3-5-2): Donnarumma; Marquinhos, Ramos, Kimpembe; Hakimi, Soler, Verratti, Ruiz, Mendes; Messi, Mbappe
