- Venue: Stade Pierre-Mauroy (Villeneuve d'Ascq)
After securing the Champions League Group Stage by eliminating Slavia Prague, Lille will welcome the reigning champs, PSG, in the third round of the Ligue 1 at Stade Pierre-Mauroy in Villeneuve d'Ascq.
If we exclude the 2021/22 season, Lille have been constantly among France's top five teams. Last year, they finished 4th and had to go through the Qualifiers to secure the CL Group Stage. They eliminated Fenerbahce and Slavia Prague in super-close duels that could easily gone the other way. In Ligue 1, the Mastiffs opened the season great, with two victories over Reims and Angers. Still, no one really thinks Lille is among the teams that can stop PSG's dominance in Ligue 1. Currently, the bookies see them as the fifth-best team in the league.
PSG have been a dominant force in France, winning the last three league titles and ten over the previous 12 years. Last year, besides winning the Ligue 1 title, PSG also won the Cup. However, their goal of winning the Champions League title is still unachieved. Over the Summer, the Mbappe drama finally came to an end as the 25-year-old star left the team and joined Real Madrid. Still, PSG had a magnificent start to the season, winning both Ligue 1 games and scoring ten goals, and are once again primary favorites for the Ligue 1 title.
Lille vs PSG pick: PSG to win
Lille did start the Ligue 1 season well, but they weren't that impressive in the Champions League Qualifiers. They lost both of their road games to Fenerbahce and Slavia Prague and looked especially bad in the last one against the Czechs. Even though they did well at home, there are definitely reasons for worry before the duel with PSG.
On the other hand, PSG played only two games. They were incredible, dominating Le Havre and Montpellier with an incredible 10:1 goal difference. Even though losing Mbappe undoubtedly hurts, for now, the team is looking fantastic without him.
In the previous h2h game, PSG won 3:1. Additionally, PSG won five of the last six h2h games. Considering the previous h2h games, the fact that Lille had an extra game over the week, and the general difference in quality, we believe that PSG will secure another comfortable win.

Lille team news
Edon Zhegrova missed the previous two Ligue 1 games with a suspension. However, he is available for the upcoming game against PSG, and we expect him to be in the starting lineup.
Nabil Bentaleb, Angel Gomes, Ismaily, and Akim Zedadka, who missed the previous games, should remain sidelined. Meanwhile, Samuel Umtiti is close to returning to the pitch and is listed as questionable.

PSG team news
Lucas Hernandez, Presnel Kimpembe, and Goncalo Ramos missed the previous game(s) with injuries and will most likely remain sidelined.
On the other hand, Milan Skriniar, Danilo Pereira, Carlos Soler, and Juan Bernat weren't in the squad for the previous games because they will most likely leave the club in the coming days. We do not expect them against Lille either.
