Paris Saint-Germain vs. Lille: Ligue 1 Match Preview, Odds & Predictions

When Lille visits the Parc des Princes on Saturday night, Paris Saint-Germain hopes to keep rolling towards the Ligue 1 championship.

Midway through the week, both teams will play in the Champions League quarterfinals. Lille's request to reschedule the match, based on the time gap between this match and their travel to Borussia Dortmund, was denied by the LFP.

Previous Matches and Head-to-head

Since PSG is now the most in-form team in Europe, they will want the games to keep coming after their incredible run of form.

With a 1-1 tie and Reims being the lone loss in their past 19 matches across all competitions, Luis Enrique's squad scored an incredible 61 goals.

In a rematch of their February 7-0 hammering of lower-league Stade Briochin, the French giants advanced to the semifinals of the Coupe de France.

Last weekend, PSG expanded their advantage at the top of Ligue 1 to thirteen points, and now they are heavy favorites to finish a domestic double this season. The other three clubs left are Reims, Dunkerque, and fourth-tier Cannes.

Since the distance at the top is so large, Enrique's team could have the championship confirmed by early April after taking advantage of Marseille's heavy loss at Auxerre and winning 3-2 away to Lyon.

PSG will be playing at home for the first time in a while. They haven't been there in over a month, winning both of their Champions League matches at the Parc des Princes with 11 goals.

Lille, the second French team in that tournament, is up next, and they've been just crushing it against them recently.

In their past seven league matches against Les Dogues, the hosts have scored 25 goals. Of their 28 prior matches in the capital, the only one they lost was in 2021, which was in a home game.

Despite PSG's focus on Wednesday's heavyweight encounter against Liverpool, Lille have an earlier match to worry about. Bruno Genesio's squad will have only two days to prepare for their meeting against Dortmund after the end of this contest.

Lille have spent the entire month of February preparing for a top-four finish after avoiding the European knockout playoffs. Their preparation paid off last weekend with a 2-1 victory over Monaco, courtesy of a brace from Hakon Arnar Haraldsson in the first half.

Under Genesio's leadership, the team has won three of its previous four games, snapping a 10-game losing streak. It is now in fourth position, one point behind Monaco, and is within striking distance of the automatic spots in the UCL.

Lyon is struggling, so four teams from five will make it to the European championship. Lille, in the meantime, is in the driver's seat and must now face the greatest battle in French football.

Paris Saint-Germain x Lille Team News

Enrique rested most of his starting eleven in midweek. The reserve team won 7-0 against Briochin, so some players may get another chance to play, particularly with the Liverpool match coming up.

After starting on the bench on Wednesday with Bradley Barcola, Marquinhos, Nuno Mendes, and Gianluigi Donnarumma, Goncalo Ramos may continue to play in the cup final if Enrique decides to rest Ousmane Dembele until midweek. Dembele scored a hat trick in the competition.

Vitinha and Lee Kang-in were not selected due to minor injuries, but Warren Zaire-Emery made a triumphant comeback as a substitute on Wednesday, eliminating any significant injury concerns.

Midway through the week, Lille heard the devastating news that Edon Zhegrova had decided not to sign a new contract and would leave the club in the summer.

Like Jonathan David, Zhegrova has been an important cog in Lille's offensive machine this season. However, due to a groin injury, he will miss both this match and Tuesday's first leg against Dortmund.

Remy Cabella's status is uncertain due to a hamstring injury, while Samuel Umtiti and Tiago Santos will miss significant time due to knee problems.

PSG to win & Over 3.5 goals @ 2.55 on Sky247.ng

Lille's challenge is highlighted by the fact that PSG annihilated almost every opponent in 2025, even great teams like Brest and Monaco.

On Tuesday, Genesio may decide to put the trip to Germany first. If that happens, PSG hopes to win their 19th match in 20 matches, while the visitors may only suffer their third loss in 15 league games.
