Paris Saint-Germain and Lille will face each other at the Parc des Princes in the Ligue 1 matchday 31 on Saturday. The kick-off is at 17:00 CET.

Preview

This clash promises to be an absolute cracker as league leaders PSG are level on points with second-placed Lille ahead of their thrid head-to-head meeting in the 2020/21 season. It's the Parisians who look to be hot favourites to claim all three points on Saturday as Mauricio Pochettino's men defeated another title contenders Lyon 4-2 prior to March's international break. That victory followed a 3-0 victory over Lille in the French Cup last-16 round.

While PSG are on a two-game winning streak ahead of Lille's visit to Paris, Christophe Galtier's side have gone on to suffer a sensational 2-1 home defeat to Nimes after losing to the Parisians in the French Cup encounter.

Team news

Marco Verratti, Juan Bernat, Thilo Kehrer, Pablo Sarabia and Mauro Icardi are all set to miss the weekend's clash for the hosts through injuries while Jeremy Pied is the only confirmed injury absentee in Galtier's squad.

Prediction

Even though the Parisians failed to defeat Lille in their first league match this term (0-0), they have improved massively since then mainly due to the appointment of Pochettino. What's more, Kylian Mbappe scored his 99th and 100th goals in the French top fligh against Lyon last month and is set to be desperate to improve his record in the forthcoming clash which is very likely to decide the winner of the 2020/21 Ligue 1 campaign.
