Ligue 1 2022-23: PSG vs Toulouse: Predicted lineup, injury news, head-to-head

The Parisien club will take on an in-form Les Violets at Parc des Princess on Saturday.
After a fragmented run of a handful of games, PSG crusaded to a 3-1 win over Montpellier; the win will undoubtedly raise their spirits as they aim for a second consecutive title. PSG won thanks to goals from Fabian Ruiz, Lionel Messi, and Warren Zaire-Emery.
Meanwhile, Toulouse is on a five-game winning streak and will enter this game fresh off a 4-1 victory over Troyes. Toulouse would like to extend their winning streak and advance to the Champions League.

Players to watch
PSG
Lionel Messi
After a poor performance against Montpellier, Messi was on the scoresheet and was the centre of the match as he regulated the game and made PSG look at home on the ball. Messi has been a game-changer in recent games.
Toulouse
Thijs Dallinga
The 22-year-old has four goals in five games. His scoring has made it easier for Toulouse to find the net, as the youngster's quick feet and ability to find the net have aided the Ligue 1 side.
Injury and team news
Presnel Kimpembe is still out with an injury, while Nuno Mendes has returned to training. Neymar, who did not play in the match, is expected to start against Toulouse.
Rhys Healey will miss the game due to a cruciate ligament injury, and Toulouse has no other injury concerns.

Predicted lineup
PSG (4-3-2-1): Donnarumma; Hakimi; Marquinhos; Pembele; Bernat; Ruiz; Pereira; Sanches; Messi; Mbappe; Ekitike
Toulouse (): Dupe; Desler, Rouault, Nicolaisen, Diarra; Chaibi, Spierings, Van den Boomen; Aboukhlal, Ratao, Dallinga
Prediction
PSG's win over Montpellier has certainly given them hope, and they now face a good opponent who has not lost in their last five games. PSG will be different with Neymar back, but they must not underestimate Toulouse, who thrashed Troyes 4-1. The only issue has been PSG's unstable defence, which is easily decomposed, but they have a knack for finding the net thanks to the qualities of Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe.
Prediction: PSG 3-2 Toulouse
