The confirmed starting lineups and substitutes have been announced for Lille and Paris Saint-Germain ahead of their Ligue 1 encounter.
Davide Ancelotti’s Lille side enter their Ligue 1 home opener looking to win it for the fifth consecutive time, following a victory in their opening match last weekend. The hosts are dealing with key absences, as forward Hamza Igamane is sidelined long-term with a severe cruciate ligament tear, while defender Tanguy Nianzou remains unavailable for selection.
Paris Saint-Germain, managed by Luis Enrique, salvaged a point in their top-flight opening match after a draw. Having scored only once in the first half this season with a fragile-looking defence, PSG can nevertheless extend their competitive undefeated streak over Lille to 11 games on Friday.
Lille's confirmed starting XI features Ozer in goal, alongside Santos, Ngoy, Perraud, returning captain Benjamin Andre, Bentaleb, Mbappe, Haraldsson, Correira, and Giroud. Listed on Lille's bench are Bodart, Verdonk, Cossier, Mukau, Bakwa, Onal, Sahraoui, Perrin, and Diaoune.
Paris Saint-Germain start with Safonov in goal, accompanied by Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Beraldo, Zire-Emery, Vitinha, Ruiz, Doue, Torres, and Akliouche. The PSG substitutes include Chevalier, Longoni, Zabarnyi, Digne, Lucas, Mayulu, Fernandez, Godts, and Kvaratskhelia.
