If you are looking for PSG vs Lille betting tips you are at the right place. The game take place on Friday evening, so here’s a PSG vs Lille prediction that’s supposed to help you start off this weekend in a winning mode.
PSG
PSG, a team that’s worth nearly a billion US dollars is the biggest favorite for winning Ligue 1 this season. And they’re on the right path to achieve that. This team has won every single league game this season and after eleven rounds, they have 33 points. That’s 8 more than the second-placed Lille. And that difference can get even higher if PSG beat them on Friday.
According to the bookies, they’re very likely to do it. It’s not just that PSG have much better players than Lille; it’s also because they’re playing this match in front of their own crowd. Parc des Princes is the place where PSG have lost only one game since March 2016. And the match they lost was the one with Rennes in May this year, when Ligue 1 trophy was already secured.
Another thing going in their favor ahead of the duel with Lille is that in the previous round, they beat their biggest rivals, Olimpique Marseille at the Velodrome. What’s not going in their favor is that their schedule is getting a bit more difficult. After the duel with Lille, they travel to Napoli for a Champions League match.
And there’s also the issue with injuries. PSG have several players who will miss the next game, including their number 9, Edinson Cavani. But, he was absent in the game against Marseille as well and they had no big problems beating them. They probably won’t have any major problems in this game neither.
Lille
Lille are flying very high at the moment. They’re at the second place on Ligue 1 table and are hoping to stay there. Or, at least, finish the season on a spot that leads to one of European major tournaments. Right now, it does seem plausible, but they will have to keep on playing well.
Speaking of their form, Lille have won four games in a row, after losing to Bordeaux in an away match in late September. The loss to Bordeaux was their second defeat this season. The other one happened against Angers and that one too was an away game. They also lost an away game in the cup to Strasbourg earlier this week.
Considering that Lille won every home match this season, while losing two and drawing one on the road, it’s fair to say that they’re not exactly a perfect away team. And their away record with PSG is dreadful – they’re without a win at Parc des Princes in this century!

PSG vs Lille Match Prediction
The team from the French capital looks unbeatable at the moment. At least in the Ligue 1. And this goes double for the games played at their turf. Unfortunately, the bookies realize this as well, which is why they’re not giving very attractive odds on PSG win. To make nice cash this weekend, you’ll have to spice it up by betting on a large number of goals.
