Paris Saint-Germain head to the Stade Pierre-Mauroy to take on Lille on Friday seeking their first Ligue 1 win of the season.
The champions lost the Trophee des Champions to RC Lens before needing a late Ferran Torres double to rescue a 2-2 draw at Rennes in their Ligue 1 opener.
Lille, meanwhile, made a winning start under Davide Ancelotti with a 2-0 victory at Angers, but they now face a PSG side who have dominated this fixture in recent years.
The Parisians have won eight of their last 10 meetings with Lille and are unbeaten throughout that run, with both teams scoring in each of the last five clashes at this venue.
That suggests PSG should have enough quality to claim their first league win of the season, but Lille can contribute to what looks set to be an entertaining contest.

Lille v Paris Saint-Germain Prediction
Best Bet: PSG and both teams to score @ 12/5
PSG have endured a frustrating start to the new season, but they should have enough attacking quality to get off the mark against Lille.
Luis Enrique's side were beaten by Lens in the Trophee des Champions and fell two goals behind at Rennes in their Ligue 1 opener before Ferran Torres came off the bench to score twice and rescue a point in what proved a remarkable debut for the Spanish World Cup winner.
The Parisians have dominated against Lille in recent years, winning eight of the last 10 meetings and remaining unbeaten throughout that run.
Lille have proven capable of making life difficult for PSG at home during that time, though, with both teams scoring in each of the last five meetings between the pair at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy.
Lille started the season with a 2-0 win at Angers and should provide a stern test, but PSG's superior quality can tell in a match where both sides could find the net.
Alternative Bet: Ferran Torres to score or assist @ 20/21
Torres made an immediate impact on his PSG debut at Rennes and looks capable of carrying that form into Friday's clash.
The Spain international came off the bench to score both goals as PSG recovered from being 2-0 down, while his previous competitive appearance had seen him score the winner in the World Cup final.
That recent form could earn Torres a starting place against Lille as he settles into his new side and he looks more than capable of continuing his impressive run with either a goal or an assist.
Torres scored 16 goals for Barcelona last season and averaged 0.73 goals per 90 minutes, while his move to Ligue 1 could provide the opportunity for him to produce even more consistently in what is regarded as a weaker league.
Lille v Paris Saint-Germain Bet Builder Tip
Over 2 goals
Most goals in second half
Hakon Haraldsson 2+ shots on target
Pays 15/1
Goals look likely when these sides meet, with both teams scoring in nine of their last 10 head-to-heads, while four of the last five have produced at least three goals.
The second half could again be particularly productive. Six of PSG's last seven competitive goals have come after the interval, while Lille and PSG both showed in their opening league matches that they possess plenty of attacking quality.
Hakon Haraldsson also looks capable of contributing to the three-fold after producing three attempts on target in Lille's 2-0 win over Angers despite playing only 72 minutes.
The Iceland international scored eight goals last season and was a constant threat in the number 10 role behind Olivier Giroud last time out.
