PSG vs Lille

Fresh from their Coupe de France disappointment, PSG turn their attention to Ligue 1 matters as they host Lille in a Friday night clash.

Given the close title race this season, PSG will be looking to lay down an early marker before their rivals get to play. Their overall form remains solid, and they should get the better of the visitors, who are a little out of sorts at the moment.

PSG News

PSG are coming off a 1-0 home defeat to Paris FC in a midweek Coupe de France clash. Manager Luis Enrique will be keen to move on quickly from that result, having gone unbeaten in their previous seven fixtures across all competitions.

Turning their attention to league matters, PSG have won their last three matches and can go two points clear at the top of the table with a victory here. The Parisians have also won their last four Ligue 1 home matches, including a 2-1 victory over Paris FC last time out in the league.

PSG have a knack for fast starts and have opened the scoring in the first half in four of their last five matches. However, they are without a clean sheet in four of those five fixtures while three of their last four matches have produced over 2.5 goals.

Lille News

Lille are well below the pace in the title race this season, sitting fifth in the table, seven points behind the Parisians. Their recent form has been erratic, with two wins and three defeats in their last five matches across all competitions.

Les Dogues were beaten 2-0 last time out in Ligue 1 and followed that up with a 2-1 home defeat to Lyon in the Coupe de France. However, it is not all doom and gloom as they have won three of their last four away matches across all competitions.

Lille have no issues in attack and have scored in eight of their last nine matches across all competitions. However, they are without a clean sheet in four of the last five fixtures on this run.

Head to Head

PSG have eight wins and two draws, while Lille have picked up just two victories in the last 12 matches. Both teams battled to a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture back in October.

Verdict

PSG v Lille

It is usually an open contest between PSG and Monaco, and with both teams scoring in their last nine meetings, a repeat is expected here. The Parisians have opened the scoring in the first half in four of their last five matches, and that trend is likely to continue.

PSG are expected to come out on top here, and having earned a win and over 2.5 goals in the last four home meetings, a similar outcome could be considered.
