Players to Watch
Joao Neves (PSG)
Joao Neves has performed decently for Paris Saint-Germain since the beginning of the season. He has been one of the most consistent players in the squad and is yet again going to play an important role. He regulates the ball really well in the midfield and is also good at scoring goals.
Olivier Giroud (Lille)

The 39-year-old will be looking to step up his game as he is one of the main men in the final third for LOSC Lille. In 15 Ligue 1 appearances, he has scored four goals and has an assist to his name. Even though he has not been on top form, Olivier Giroud is going to cause problems for the hosts.
