Lille vs PSG Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Ligue 1 2025-26

PSG will look to strengthen their spot at the top of the table.

Lille and Paris Saint-Germain meet this weekend at the Decathlon Arena – Stade Pierre Mauroy in one of the key fixtures of the Ligue 1 calendar.

PSG arrive confident. They are first in the table after a strong run that has reaffirmed their status as defending champions. They see this as a chance to extend their lead and enter the contest with clear intent.

Lille, however, remain an unpredictable opponent. They have had an uneven form recently, yet performances at home often bring out the best in them. Still, the supporters will expect a spirited display.

The side currently occupies sixth place, but victory here would push them closer to the leading pack and strengthen their case for European qualification.

PSG’s attacking depth makes them favourites. Even so, Lille’s determination could keep the contest balanced. Both teams possess motivation, which sets the stage for a tense and highly competitive evening.
