Federico Chiesa's left Juventus and NICOLAS GONZALEZ has come in as his replacement.
The Argentine winger has caught the Old Lady’s eye at Fiorentina, where he scored 25 goals and set up another nine across the last three Serie A seasons, the most of any La Viola player.
Although his attacking record is impressive, it is his disciplinary record which is of interest on Sunday. The Argentine has picked up 14 cards in Italy and has a career cards per 90 average of 0.20 which explains why he is as short as 11/4 TO BE CARDED this Sunday.
The 13/2 available with bet365 looks large and referee Marco Guide averaged over four cards a game in Italy's top flight last season.
Lille vs PSG
- Kick-off time: 19:45 BST, Sunday
- Home 3/1 | Draw 13/5 | Away 5/6
Jimmy 'The Punt' Cantrill
Lille are yet to concede a goal two games into the Ligue 1 season, but if anyone can buck the trend, it's a PSG side who have netted 10 times in two games.
BRADLEY BARCOLA is enjoying the post-Kylian Mbappe life, the winger netting three times already in just 81 minutes of domestic action. It means he is already one goal away from last season's tally and a third of the way into his all time goal scoring total across the previous four seasons in the French top tier.
According to the odds, PSG have a 58% chance of netting at least two goals in Lille, so given Barcola's hot start to the season, his 7/2 price to TO SCORE ANYTIME appeals.
Odds correct at 1700 BST (30/08/24)
