Team News:

• Ange Loic N’Gatta, Lasso Coulibaly, Saad Agouzoul, and Nathan Buayi Kiala, are on the long list of injured players set to miss the game for AJ Auxerre.
• Lucas Hernandez and Senny Mayulu are the only two players injured and out of this game for PSG.

Player(s) to watch:

• Hamed Traorè has been one of the prime reasons for Auxerre to do so well after getting promoted. Coming as a loanee from AFC Bournemouth, he has been consistent in the league scoring goals in every other game, often from the wings, and also as an attacking midfielder. The 24-year-old has the required skills to shine at the highest levels, and if he manages to do so against tough sides like PSG, he might get a big club soon.
• Vitinha is used as a central defensive midfielder, and he has been a consistent charm, protecting the back-line from facing many threats. He plays a pivotal part in the midfield, which is the main zone of all operations in PSG’s senior team. If he manages to control the midfield well, as he has done consistently, the hosts should find it difficult to even score on the counterattack.
