Paris Saint-Germain are eager to preserve their unblemished Ligue 1 campaign as they square off against LOSC Lille in Saturday’s marquee matchup at Parc des Princes.
Seeing Marseille fall to a crushing 0-3 loss against Auxerre the previous day, the soaring team of Luis Enrique didn’t waste any time, taking full advantage of their closest title challenger’s setback to stretch their lead at the top of Ligue 1 to a massive 13 points with a hard-fought 3-2 win over Olympique Lyon.
After the shocking 1-2 loss to relegation-candidate Le Havre on February 8, the Mastiffs responded impressively by claiming back-to-back victories in tough tests against Rennes 2-0 and AS Monaco 2-1, putting them back on track in their pursuit of automatic UEFA Champions League spots.
PSG vs LOSC Lille Betting Tips : PSG & Over 2.5
Recent encounters between PSG and Lille have produced a flurry of goals, including the reverse fixture earlier this season where the Parisians ran out 3-1 winners, and we believe a similar outcome could unfold in what promises to be an action-packed and high-scoring affair. PSG’s attacking force is firing on all cylinders and tearing through opposition nets without mercy lately, as they demonstrated midweek by hammering fourth-tier side Stade Briochin 7-0 to reach the Coupe de France semis. That was, in fact, their second seven-goal win in just three recent games, and with their attacking force in full swing, we believe that Enrique's men will maintain their ruthlessness in the final third with the aim of making it a 10th win on the bounce in all competitions.
LOSC Lille showed promise in breaching PSG's defense, but they couldn't find the winning formula, as they have suffered defeat in six of the last seven Ligue 1 encounters with the French record champions, leaving them with slim chances of avoiding another loss. Given the lethal offensive power of the Mastiffs led by Canadian star Jonathan David, we expect them to extend their scoring run to 11 straight matches, but they will likely struggle to withstand the relentless PSG attack, which has been devastating in front of goal. All the signs point to a thrilling encounter at Parc des Princes, where fans can expect an action-packed affair filled with goals in abundance.

LOSC Lille team news
On the other hand, LOSC Lille will have to cope without Samuel Umtiti, Tiago Santos, and Edon Zhegrova, as this trio continues to recover from serious injuries, with some of them sidelined for an extended period.
Coach Bruno Genesio made just two changes in last week’s 2-1 win over AS Monaco, meaning almost the entire starting eleven will be retained for the clash against PSG.
