PSG vs DIJ Match Preview, Team News, Lineups

Paris Saint-Germain host Dijon FC in the second-last round of the 2018-19 Ligue 1 season at Parc des Princes.

PSG vs DIJ Dream11 MATCH PREVIEW:

The Ligue 1 long lost its shine as Paris-Saint Germain won games after games from the very first week of the 2018-19 season. In fact, the gap between them and the second place team was almost 20 points after the first half of the campaign. There was never a fight for the Ligue1, with teams fighting only for the Champions League places and for their top-flight status.

It’s Dijon who need a result here as they are fighting for their Ligue 1 life. They are second from bottom but only two points separate them from Monaco in 17th.

Potential Game Changers: Top fantasy picks and the points earned in the last three games

Kylian Mbappe – 29, 7, 2.5
Di Maria – 13, 9.5
Dani Alves – 10, 5, 15.5

Stats and facts:

Paris Saint-Germain are on an eight-game winning streak against Dijon.

Dijon have scored in only one of their last 10 away games heading into this match.

PSG are the only team in Ligue 1 to remain unbeaten in home games this season, winning 16 of their 18 league games.

Captain and Vice-Captain Selection:
Kylian Mbappe

Minutes played: 3,755
Goals scored: 43
Assists: 12
Shots Per game– 4.3
Passing%: 80
Man of the Match: 11

Mbappe is in the running for the European Golden Shoe along with Lionel Messi. He hardly leaves the pitch without affecting the game and against a defense as brittle as Dijon’s expect the former Monaco star to wreak havoc at Parc des Princes.

With 30 strikes, he has scored the most goals in Ligue 1 this season. Even in the last game, he scored a brilliant hat-trick to down his former team Monaco 3-1. He should be your caption.

Angel DI Maria:

He is different from Mbappe in the sense that he drops back and often gets the ball deep in the field. It means, he will have more touches than Mbappe, perhaps more influence as far as setting up the tempo for his team.

Another reason to make him your vice-captain is that he has the eye for a pass. His team-high 10 league assists (13 in all competitions) and 19 goals in all competitions shows that his impact is unparalleled on this team.

Suggested combination:

Goalkeeper: G Buffon
Defenders: Kurzawa, Dagba, Haddadi, Yambere
Midfielders: Maria (VC), Amaltifano, Chang Hoon, Draxler
Forwards: Mbappe (C), Cavani
