Wiener Sportklub vs. PSG: Team News, Predicted Lineups, Live Stream and TV Info
After more than one month off to recover from a gruelling 2014-15 season, French champions Paris Saint-Germain are back in action with their first friendly ahead of the new campaign.
After completing a domestic clean sweep last term, Laurent Blanc’s men are gearing up for an assault on Europe this time around.
Currently in Austria for pre-season training, before heading to the United States of America for the 2015 International Champions Cup, PSG take on minnows Wiener Sportklub in their first friendly.

Preamble:
After some deserved rest, PSG are back in training ahead of the new season in Thaya, Austria, and the Ligue 1 champions take on Wiener in their first preparatory match.
Blanc does not have many first-team regulars available to him, with Les Parisiens’ European international stars not expected back until the start of their USA tour.
The capital club’s Copa America representatives will gradually join up with their team-mates as the International Champions Cup progresses, so expect to see a youthful PSG in action here.

Player to Watch
France won their second UEFA European Under-17 Championship title earlier this year, and talented PSG youth academy product Odsonne Edouard was a key factor in Les Bleuets’ success.
The 17-year-old attacker scored a staggering eight goals—five more than his nearest competitor—to finish the tournament as top scorer.
As a result, Blanc has sat up and taken notice of the young gem he has available to him and called him up for this pre-season training camp.
Although unlikely to feature heavily this season, Edouard is certainly one to watch in the future, and the clash with Wiener could give PSG their first glimpses of the prolific teenager in action.

Key Battle
With new PSG signing Kevin Trapp likely to be making his debut in goal, the German’s duel against the likes of Alejandro Yunes De Leon and Michael Pittnauer will be a key battle to keep an eye on.
Having just arrived from Eintracht Frankfurt, the 25-year-old goalkeeper is almost certain to be handed at least 45 minutes to impress in Austria.
Trapp is expected to keep Salvatore Sirigu out of the starting XI—at least initially—this season, so Blanc will likely take this opportunity to see what his new signing can do.
The defence in front of the new boy will be nowhere near full strength, but that should mean that the new PSG No. 16 is given a bit of work to do on his first appearance in the capital club’s colours.
