Lille Osc v PSG Betting Tips [21 August 2022]

Matches pitting Lille and PSG have proven to be big contests in recent seasons, and the two sides are set to face off again as Ligue 1 enters Week 3. Lille will be at home, hoping to improve on their 1-1 draw with Nantes in the last game. The hosts are third with four points after two matches while PSG have six points, at the summit of the league. Lille go into this game unbeaten in their last three matches, but they have only one clean sheet in the last five games. They have conceded two goals in two of their last five matches, while both teams have scored in three of their last five games. Lille have two wins in five home matches, conceding two goals in three of the five while they have no clean sheet in the last four. Each of their last four home matches has produced over 2.5 goals.

PSG are in great form ahead of this game; in their three competitive season opening games, they have scored 14 goals, winning each one of them. The champions have actually won each of their last nine matches and they haven’t struggled a bit in attack, managing two or more goals in each of their last 10 games. With Kylian Mbappe and Renato Sanches now fully fit, new manager Christophe Galtier will have a good problem in selecting his team. This comes on the back of Neymar’ blistering form and the Lionel Messi PSG fans have all along wanted to see is getting in shape. A 5-2 win over Montpellier in their last game followed on a 5-0 away win over Clermont and Lille have all the reason to develop cold feet, especially after losing 5-1 at home in their last meeting with PSG.

PSG are on fire; they have 10 goals in their opening two league games and without any fresh injuries reported. Lille have struggled a bit in defence and will find it really hard containing the explosive PSG attack. In light of the two sides’ recent runs of form, we will back PSG to lead in both halves.
