PREVIEW & PREDICTION – Lille vs Paris SG 3/02/2018
On Saturday at 16:00, the Lille – PSG match will be played in the 24th round of Ligue 1. We anticipate a fairly unbalanced match, of course, in favor of the guests
The hosts failed to win the last game, the one with Strasbourg, even the team that eliminated them from the Coupe de France. Thus, the hosts on Saturday managed to reach the 17th place, the first above the relegation line. As a game Lille does not look bad, but although they did not sell players, the team did much worse than last year. With a goal of 21-34 we can see that their main problem is the attack. Although after the victory with Lyon they seemed to come back as much as they did, only one victory followed and the Lille fans continued to disappoint. Without too much batch problems, the hosts missed just the Malcuit defender. We think we will see a team of Lille solid enough, but it is hard to believe they will be able to do anything but try to reduce the defeats.
On the other hand, PSG does not require any presentation. After the defeat with Lyon, the second in the championship after Strasbourg, the PSG had no trouble winning two victories in which they scored at least 4 times and in the cup match with Rennes they led 3-0 and then after Mbappe (min 57) got red, they defended heroically to finally impose 3-2. With an 11 point advantage over the second place, PSG is slowly coming up with a new champion title. While Thiago Motta is injured, as well as Ben Arffa, Dani Alves is suspended. Even so, the Parisians have a lot so numerous that they could always match two teams and as we can see, the 72-17 goal is an extraordinary one. Interestingly, in 4 of the last five direct meetings of the two, PSG received the Lille goal and we may see phases again at both gates.
PREDICTION: Over 2.5 goals @ 1.44
