## ⚔️ Form & Build-Up

**PSG** are the reigning Champions League holders but have been wobbling lately — a **3-1 home loss to Monaco** in Ligue 1 last weekend dented their confidence. They scraped past Monaco in the knockout playoffs [5-4 on aggregate](https://www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/psg/champions-league/preview/psg-vs-chelsea-prediction-team-news-lineups_593473.html), and Lens are now just one point behind in the league title race.

**Chelsea**, meanwhile, have momentum. Liam Rosenior’s side have **won 5 of their last 9 games** across competitions, including a commanding 4-1 win over Aston Villa before edging Wrexham in extra time. The Blues won 5, drew 1, and lost 2 in the League Phase to qualify 6th overall — in excellent Champions League shape.
