Recreation of the week: Paris Saint-Germain v Lille OSC, Saturday 20:05 (UK)
PSG’s march in direction of an unbeaten home season continued final week due to a 3-2 win over Lyon. They didn’t management the sport in elements, as they’ve ceaselessly carried out in current months, however there was at all times a sense that OL had been at arm’s size and that PSG might at all times take their recreation to a different degree if required. With Marseille shedding, PSG have an unassailable 13-point lead on the high of Ligue 1 with simply 11 video games remaining. There is no such thing as a doubt that Luis Enrique’s facet might be retaining their title at this level however, like final season, is there now an opportunity of seeing a drop-off in efficiency? PSG discovered themselves in an analogous place final season as they put their eggs within the Champions League basket. They reached the semi-finals of that competitors final 12 months and, of their makes an attempt to win it this time round, they need to first dispatch Liverpool. The primary leg of their Spherical of 16 encounter in opposition to the Premier League giants comes after the weekend recreation in opposition to Lille. Might PSG’s heads be elsewhere?
LOSC got here out 2-1 winners in opposition to Monaco in what was a good recreation of few possibilities. The distinction was that Bruno Genesio’s facet took their possibilities; the Principality membership didn’t. Les Dogues haven’t been as spectacular going ahead since Edon Zhegrova’s damage, while Jonathan David has additionally skilled a tail-off in type in current weeks. Like PSG, Lille may even have an eye fixed on their Champions League tie in midweek (in opposition to Borussia Dortmund). There are distractions for either side however as soon as once more, it’s onerous to wager in opposition to PSG persevering with their unbeaten run, on the very least, after they host LOSC.
