Ligue 1’s two most recent title winners clash on Sunday night as Lille welcome Paris Saint-Germain for a fixture that’s produced fireworks in recent years. The hosts are winless in six league H2Hs (D1, L5), a run that includes 7-1 and 5-1 defeats on this ground! The Lille faithful will be confident of avoiding a repeat of any such result as they’ve seen their side win all three home games this term, scoring exactly twice in each, while they’ve also lost just one of their last 15 league games on their own turf (W10, D4).
This will already be the Mastiffs’ seventh game of the campaign (W4, D1, L1), as they’ve had to come through UEFA Champions League qualifying to reach the league phase where they'll face the likes of Real Madrid, Liverpool and Juventus! They’ve made a perfect start to get back to Europe’s top table through their league position, beating Reims and Angers by 2-0 scorelines, giving them the chance to win their first three without conceding for just the second time in Ligue 1.
Last season’s best home side face a visit from that campaign’s premier away outfit, as PSG arrive at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy protecting an unbeaten run on the road in Ligue 1 that stretches back to February 2023 (W20, D5). While Kylian Mbappé struggles to fit into the Real Madrid juggernaut, Luis Enrique’s men have adapted seamlessly to life without the superstar, scoring ten while conceding just once in their opening two matches (W2).
As a result, PSG could open their campaign with three successive league wins for the sixth time in ten seasons. Even if the Parisians are victorious, goals will likely flow as both teams have scored in each of the last six H2Hs, the joint-longest run in this fixture’s history.
Key battle: Available to return from suspension, Edon Zhegrova will look to translate his European form to Ligue 1 having scored in three of his four Champions League appearances this term. He seeks a first-ever H2H win against PSG (D1, L3). New PSG midfielder João Neves has made a perfect start to life in the French capital, assisting two goals in both of his first two games for the champions.
Hot stat: Lille boss Bruno Génésio has lost more games against PSG (nine) than against any other opponent in his managerial career (W6, D1).
