PSG find themselves in a rut after the World Cup, and the loss against Bayern Munich in the Champions League would’ve done no favours to group morale. The match against Lille could prove to be crucial for setting the tone for the rest of the campaign.
With three continuous defeats in all competitions, Christophe Galtier and his squad find themselves under a lot of pressure to turn things around. The return of ace Kylian Mbappé would be a major boost for the team, and in Lille, they face an opponent who they’re unbeaten against in their last three meetings. There is no better game to turn the odds in their favour for Les Parisiens.
However, Lille will be confident of their chances of getting a result out of this fixture. While their form isn’t too great, they have won more than their opponents in the last five games. Moreover with PSG’s inability to keep a clean sheet, and striker Jonathan David’s impeccable form, they might add another chink in the host’s armour
