In between their two Champions League matches, PSG will continue their quest to win a fifth straight Ligue 1 title when they take on Toulouse.

PSG comes into this match with a record of 16-5-0 and 53 points, leading the table. Toulouse has a record of 7-6-8, with their 27 points putting them 10th in the league.

This match will be played at the Stadium de Toulouse and will take place at 21:05 CET/15:05 EST/12:05 PST.

Toulouse vs PSG: Predicted Lineups

With PSG having this game in between two big Champions League matches, PSG is expected to heavily rotate their squad.

PSG predicted lineup vs. Toulouse: Matvei Safonov; Lucas Hernandez, Lucas Beraldo, Marquinhos, Achraf Hakimi; Fabián Ruiz, Joao Neves, Lee Kang-in; Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Goncalo Ramos, Desire Doue

While there was plenty of rotation for PSG, it seems likely that players like Hakimi, Neves, and Marquinhos could be taken out early if the Parisians have a lead, as they have had some of the heaviest minutes loads on the team. They are all in the top 7 in the club in minutes played this year, all totaling above 2100.

Toulouse typically runs a 3-4-3, so it will be interesting to watch how PSG reacts to having Toulouse overload numbers in the midfield.

Toulouse predicted lineup vs. PSG: Guillaume Restes; Mark McKenzie, Charlie Cresswell, Jaydee Canvot; Gabriel Suazo, Vincent Sierro, Cristian Cásseres Jr., Aron Dønnum; Zakaria Aboukhlal, Frank Magri, Shavy Babicka

Toulouse vs PSG: Prediction

Toulouse has come into this game on questionable form. In their last five matches, they have two losses and three draws.

PSG on the other hand, has been dominant. In their last five matches they have won all of them, scoring 18 goals.

While Toulouse has made good progress to get into the top 10 of the table in their third season back in Ligue 1, it would be difficult to envision them getting points out of today’s match.

Prediction: Toulouse 1-4 PSG
