The biggest match of the weekend in Ligue 1 takes place on Sunday night as Lille welcome Paris Saint-Germain to the Stade Pierre-Mauroy.
The hosts began the weekend sitting top of the table on 32 points while the visitors are just one place and one point behind them, making this a crucial match in the title race.
Lille come into the game having recorded a 2-0 victory at Dijon in midweek. A goal after 19 minutes and in the 90th minute were enough to take maximum points and Lille have won 4 of their last 5 matches in all competitions.
They are proving tough to beat and have lost only 2 of their last 21 games in all competitions, which is a great record.
Having tasted defeat at Brest on the 18th of November, Lille have embarked on a 5 match unbeaten run in Ligue 1, winning 4 of those games. Three of the victories have come at home against Lorient, Monaco, and Bordeaux.
Trends show Lille are undefeated in 21 of their most recent 23 home games in Ligue 1 and have remained undefeated in their last 10 home Ligue 1 matches in a row.
Both teams scored in 6 of Lille’s last 8 matches in Ligue 1, including 3 of their last 4 at home. Lille have scored 2 or more goals in 5 of their last 6 home league games.
PSG come into this match having taken maximum points in a 2-0 win over Lorient in Paris. With the score 0-0 at half-time, Lorient went down to 10 men following a red card and PSG took full advantage as they scored 2 goals to win the game.
It was an important victory for the defending champions who had previously lost 1-0 at home against Lyon.
The victory over Lorient means PSG have won 4 of their last 5 matches in all competitions and are undefeated in 6 of their last 7.
Away from home in Ligue 1, PSG have won 4 of their last 5 matches and scored 2 or more goals in each of their last 6 games on the road. Trends show PSG have managed to win by 2 or more goals in 9 of their 12 most recent league matches.
Team news and Lille are without the injured trio of Renato Sanches, Luiz Araujo, and Jeremy Pied. Every other player should be fit and available.
PSG travel without the suspended Colin Dagba. The champions have an extensive injury list including Abdou Diallo, Neymar, Marquinhos, Mauro Icardi, Pablo Sarabia, and Juan Bernat.
This should be an extremely entertaining game to watch with over 2.5 goals and both teams finding the back of the net. Lille have been on a great recent run in Ligue 1 and have what it takes to win this game and move 4 points clear of PSG in the table.
