Lille vs PSG Prediction and Betting Tips | September 1, 2024

Lille welcome Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to the Stade Pierre-Mauroy in Ligue 1 on Sunday. Both teams have enjoyed winning starts to their league campaigns as they head into the international break.

The hosts registered 2-0 wins in their first two league games of the season. They overcame Angers at home last week, thanks to goals from Thomas Meunier and Mohamed Bayo.

Lille's winning streak ended after three games on Wednesday, with a 2-1 loss to Slavia Prague in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League qualifying play-off. Nevertheless, they secured their place in the group stage with a 3-2 aggregate win.

PSG, meanwhile, have enjoyed a winning start to their title defence, scoring 10 goals in two games. After a 4-1 win over Le Havre in their campaign opener, they beat Montpellier 6-0 in their first home game of the season last week. Bradley Barcola bagged a brace, while Ousmane Dembélé picked up two assists.

Lille vs PSG Prediction

Lille have won their two league outings this season scoring four goals without reply. They have scored at least twice in nine of their last 10 home games in Ligue 1.

Nabil Bentaleb and Samuel Umtiti are long-term absentees, but head coach Bruno Génésio welcomed back Angel Gomes to training earlier this week. The English midfielder returned from a concussion suffered in the campaign opener, for which he was hospitalised.

PSG, meanwhile, scored six goals for the second time in Ligue 1 in 2024. They have won their last six away league games scoring 20 goals.

Head coach Luis Enrique has an almost full-strength squad for this match but remains without long-term absentees Presnel Kimpembe, Lucas Hernandez and Goncalo Ramos.

Considering the visitors' dominance in this fixture and recent goalscoring form, expect the defending champions to take the three points.

Prediction: Lille 2-3 PSG
