PSG vs Lille Prediction
Paris Saint-Germain annihilated Stade Briochin by seven goals to nil away from home in the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France in midweek. They will be slightly distracted by their UEFA Champions League Round of 16 tie against Liverpool beginning in midweek. PSG have been phenomenal, though, apart from a few poor performances in Europe in the autumn, as they begin this weekend sitting 13 points clear without a defeat at the top of Ligue 1 with just 11 games left. They face a Lille side that leapfrogged Monaco by two goals to one at Stade Pierre-Mauroy last week as they sit tucked inside the top four. The northerners haven’t been as difficult to beat of late as they were for the vast majority of the campaign but remain a strong side. That said, PSG are relentless at the moment and, at Parc des Princes, should once again earn themselves another three points.
