The Ligue 1 is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as PSG lock horns with Lille on Sunday. Both teams have impressive squads at their disposal and will want to win this game.

Lille are in 11th place in the Ligue 1 standings and have failed to meet expectations this season. Les Dogues suffered a 2-0 defeat against Brest last weekend and will want to bounce back in this fixture.

PSG, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment and have been fairly impressive this season. The Parisians crashed out of the Coupe de France this week and have a point to prove going into this match.

The previous meeting between the two teams took place last year and ended in a narrow 2-1 victory for PSG. Lille gave a good account of themselves on the day but will need to take it up a notch this weekend.

Lille vs PSG Prediction

PSG have been plagued by inconsistency this season and will need to address several issues to become a European force. The Parisians are 10 points ahead of second-placed Marseille at the moment and will look to extend their lead this weekend.

Lille can pack a punch on their day but will need to play out of their skins to stand a chance against France's best team. PSG are the better team on paper and should be able to win this game.

Prediction: Lille 1-3 PSG
