Lille will host PSG in their third game of the 2024/25 Ligue 1 season at Stade Pierre-Mauroy. Les Lillois have started the campaign on a high after keeping back-to-back clean sheets in their first two games of the season.

Hosts Lille have secured a spot in the Champions League group stage by eliminating Slavia Prague in the play-offs with a 3-2 aggregate. The team looks strong defensively under new manager Bruno Genesio.

Meanwhile, PSG dominated Le Havre and Montpellier in their first two games and are now sitting at the top of the table with a plus-nine goal difference. This year looks to be an important and exciting one for Luis Enrique’s team on the domestic front at least.
