French champions Paris Saint-Germain begin their quest for a fourth consecutive Ligue 1 title with a tricky away test at Lille on Friday night.
Laurent Blanc, on the back of a successful preseason campaign, will be confident that his team can live up to their title as heavy favourites and look to dominate the league campaign from the very first weekend.
Their opponents are much harder to predict than they have been in previous seasons. Lille are now in the hands of Herve Renard, the coach that led both Zambia and Ivory Coast to success in the Africa Cup of Nations.
Now, the inexperienced club coach has the task of guiding Lille back up the Ligue 1 ladder, but it is not going to be easy. Simon Kjaer, Idrissa Gueye, Adama Traore and Nolan Roux have all left the club this summer, meaning there are a lot of new faces at the Stade Pierre Mauroy.
Club captain Rio Mavuba is still in place, as are Vincent Enyeama, Marko Basa and new signing Renato Civelli. Les Dogues still have a strong and experienced spine, however, their problems are going to come in the final third as the younger players try to adapt and develop in France’s top division.
After the preseason campaign, it looks like Renard is going to favour 4-3-3 this season. Building from a strong midfield base and looking to the creative talent of Eric Bautheac and Sofiane Boufal to create chances for whoever plays through the middle.
