Lille will entertain reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy in Ligue 1 on Sunday.
The hosts are on a 14-game unbeaten run across all competitions, with 12 games in that period producing under 2.5 goals. Interestingly, they have kept clean sheets in their last five games. In their previous league outing, they were held to a goalless draw by Clermont Foot.
They bounced back with a win in the UEFA Europa Conference League, defeating KI 3-0 in their final group-stage match. Interestingly, all three goals came from the penalty spot as Yusuf Yazıcı scored in the first half while Angel Gomes and Edon Zhegrova added goals late in the second half.
The visitors made it eight wins on the trot last week as goals from Bradley Barcola and Randal Kolo Muani helped them defeat Nantes 2-1. They were held to a 1-1 draw by Borussia Dortmund in their final group-stage match of the UEFA Champions League, securing their place in the knockout stage.

Lille vs PSG Prediction
Les Dogues head into the match on a 14-game unbeaten run across all competitions. At home, they have dropped points just twice in all competitions, recording nine wins in 11 games, and will look to avoid a defeat in this match.
Paulo Fonseca's men have the second-best defensive record in Ligue 1, conceding just 11 times in 15 games. Tiago Djalo is the only absentee for the hosts, so they have had a healthy squad to choose from.
Les Parisiens have won eight games on the spin in Ligue 1, recording nine wins in their last 10 league outings. They are unbeaten in their last 14 away games in the league and are strong favorites.
Luis Enrique remains without Keylor Navas, Sergio Rico, Nuno Mendes, and Presnel Kimpembe for the trip to Lille. Fabian Ruiz is sidelined with a shoulder injury he picked up against Le Havre and Gianluigi Donnarumma will serve a suspension.
Gonçalo Ramos is back from an illness and should return to the starting XI after missing out against Dortmund in the Champions League.
Both teams were in action in European games in the midweek, so fatigue might be a factor. Considering the current form of the two teams and their defensive records in the league, a low-scoring draw might ensue.
Prediction: Lille 1-1 PSG
