Storylines
PSG: So far so good in Ligue 1 with a 100% record, Pochettino has still seen his team concede an average of a goal per game so far this season across Ligue 1 and the Champions League. With Marco Verratti still out on top of Messi’s continued absence, it is not ideal preparation for City next week.
MHSC:
Mid-table with nine points from a possible 21, the summer departures of Gaetan Laborde and Andy Delort are proving difficult to get over while Olivier Dall’Oglio is still getting to grips with his new team. Thankfully for him and this Paillade outfit, Valere Germain has hit the ground running while Stephy Mavididi is also stepping up.
Prediction
The hosts to get the job done but questions will still linger as they struggle to rectify defensive issues. Expect Kylian Mbappe and Neymar to prove their readiness for next week’s showdown with goals. Pick: PSG 3-1 MHSC.
