Paris Saint-Germain are expected to field a much-changed side when they host ESTAC Troyes on Saturday, 7 November 2026, in the 10th round of Ligue 1. Kick-off at the Parc des Princes is scheduled for 20:05 GMT.
Luis Enrique is likely to retain his usual 4-3-3 formation, but several first-team regulars are unavailable. Ousmane Dembele, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Marquinhos and Nuno Mendes remain in the club’s injury list.
The expected rotation comes before the international break and follows PSG’s emphatic 6-0 victory away to Villarreal. The Spanish manager is therefore expected to give opportunities to a number of less regular starters against Troyes.
PSG’s probable XI
Matvey Safonov is expected to start in goal.
Achraf Hakimi, Ilya Zabarnyi, Lucas Hernandez and Lucas Digne are the probable back four.
Warren Zaire-Emery, Senny Mayulu and Dro Fernandez are set to form the midfield.
In attack, Maghnes Akliouche, Ferran Torres and Mika Godts are expected to lead the home side’s line.
Troyes expected to adopt a compact approach
Troyes are also expected to use a 4-3-3 system for their visit to Paris. Stephane Dumont’s side are likely to prioritise a disciplined and compact defensive shape, with the aim of resisting PSG’s pressure for as long as possible before attempting to counter-attack quickly.
The visitors will be looking to remain organised without the ball and make the most of their opportunities when they transition into attack.
Troyes’ probable XI
Hillel Konate is expected to be selected in goal.
The likely defence consists of Lucas Maronnier, Adrien Monfray, Michel Diaz and Ismael Boura.
Mouhamed Diop, Antoine Mille and Dermane Karim are the predicted midfield trio.
Merwan Ifnaoui, Renaud Ripart and Kandet Diawara are expected to start in the forward positions.
The fixture will be Troyes’ 10th Ligue 1 match of the season and will take place at the Parc des Princes against a PSG team coming off a six-goal win at Villarreal.
The odds listed by 1xBet make PSG strong favourites. A Troyes victory is priced at 19.00, while a draw is listed at 9.50. PSG’s winning odds are 1.06.
