Lille team news
Among Lille’s Moroccan players, Ayyoub Bouaddi has become one of the team’s most trusted young midfielders. His calmness and vision have impressed coach Bruno Génésio and he will probably start again in the midfield pivot.
Hamza Igamane, who came off the bench to help Lille win against Toulouse, could be an option from the bench.
Osame Sahraoui, who provided the assist in that same game, is part of Lille’s attacking rotation and may play as a sub or wide starter.
- Injuries: Alexsandro is out with a thigh problem, Ousmane Touré is still out with a long-term cruciate ligament injury and Marc-Aurèle Caillard is ruled out with an elbow issue.
- Returning players: No major comebacks expected.
- Tactical tweaks: The full-backs will have to work hard defensively given PSG’s width. Bruno Génésio will probably play Benjamin André and Ayyoub Bouaddi in the double pivot to provide solidity in midfield.
Predicted lineup (4–2–3–1): Ozer; Meunier, Ngoy, Mandi, Verdonk; Andre, Bouaddi; Correia, Haraldsson, Sahraoui; Giroud.

Paris Saint-Germain team news
Achraf Hakimi will start at right-back and will be key on both ends of the pitch, providing width and overlapping support down the right flank.
- Injuries: Ousmane Dembélé is out with a hamstring problem, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has a thigh issue, Marquinhos is out with a leg injury, Désiré Doué could miss due to calf concerns and João Neves is doubtful.
- Returning players: None of the injured will be back for this one.
- Tactical tweaks: relying on full-backs to provide width and perhaps a more compact midfield to absorb Lille’s pressure.
Predicted lineup (4–3–3): Chevalier; Hakimi, Zabarnyi, Beraldo, Hernandez; Kang-in, Vitinha, Mayulu; Mbaye, Ramos, Barcola.
What to expect
Lille are under the cosh after two straight Ligue 1 defeats and no goals in two games, but that Europa League win over Roma might just be the confidence booster they needed. Berke Özer was the hero in that one, saving three penalties in stoppage time.
PSG are on a high after their 2–1 win over Barcelona in the Champions League, which showed off their ability to do it late and their depth. Despite injuries, they’ve been solid domestically — four clean sheets in six league games — and have lost just once in their last 13 Ligue 1 visits to Lille.
Lille will park the bus and look to hit PSG on the break, while PSG will use their full-backs Achraf Hakimi and Theo Hernández to get the game wide and serve their front line.
Safe calls
- Both Teams to Score: likely
- Over 2.5 Goals: plausible
- PSG to Win: Yes.
- Score Prediction: Lille 1–3 PSG.
