What They're Saying
PSG left-back Maxwell (via Ligue 1): "We're confident, but prudent as well. We know it'll be a tough match and we know that Lyon have a great team. It'll be a tough match against a solid side. We've had a great preseason and we've played some promising matches. It's very important to rake in the confidence and the results, and we've done so against some excellent sides who are regularly competitive on the European stage."
PSG center-back Marquinhos: "We've worked really well these past few weeks. All the lads are in the process of reaching peak levels and I think we'll be in very good shape both physically and mentally for this match against Lyon."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Lucas Moura provided a timely assist in PSG's 2-0 victory over Manchester United in the International Champions Cup. In 29 league appearances last season, the 22-year-old finished with seven goals and five assists. He'll look for more of the same in Montreal on Saturday.
PSG's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Trapp; Maxwell, Silva, Aurier, Wiel; Matuidi, Stambouli, Verratti; Moura, Ibrahimovic, Augustin
Lyon's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Lopes; Bedimo, Umtiti, Rose, Jallet; Ferri, Gonalons, Tolisso; N'Jie, Lacazette, Beauvue
