Prediction: 1-1
PSG
There will be fireworks when Lille and Paris Saint-Germain square off against each other at Stade Pierre-Mauroy in the Ligue 1 derby. Les Dogues are eager to stay in the Champions League berth, but, no doubt, they would be happy with one point from Sunday’s encounter. The likes of Adam Ounas, Ivan Cavaleiro, and Tiago Djalo miss out with injuries, while fit-again defender Ismaily is pushing for a recall to the starting eleven.
Les Parisiens, on the other hand, are leading the chase for yet another Ligue 1 trophy. The league leaders survived Nantes in their last league match, but seeing that Lille are tough to beat at home, we believe that punters from all around the world can find value in betting on draw. Goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma is banned for the match, while all Fabian Ruiz, Keylor Navas, and Sergio Rico are out of contention with injuries. As a result, talented shot-stopper Arnau Tenas is likely to start.
Highlighted Player (Kylian Mbappé):
Kylian Mbappe is a French footballer who plays for Paris Saint-Germain as a forward. The French rising star began his youth career at AS Bondy and in 2013 he moved to AS Monaco. After making 12 appearances for Monaco B, Kylian Mbappe made his debut for the senior team in 2015. Mbappe quickly established himself as a regular goalscorer, with the teenager finding the net 15 times in 29 appearances in the Ligue 1 in the 2016/2017 season.
In 2017 he moved to fellow French club PSG on loan, with the option of making the deal permanent. Kylian Mbappe scored 13 goals in 27 appearances for les Parisiens in the 2017/2018 and it has to be noted that Unai Emery’s troops eventually won the national championship.
Speaking of his international career, Mbappe played an important role for France at the 2018 FIFA World Cup finals, with the pacey rising star scoring a brace in a thrilling 4-3 win over Argentina in the last 16 of the showpiece tournament. The PSG attacker was born in Paris on December 20, 1998.
Highlighted Team (Lille):
Lille have been playing an important role in French football ever since they were founded in 1944. Les Dogues won their first domestic trophy in the 1945/1946 season.
Lille did well to win their second Ligue 1 title in 1954 and 57 years later they lifted their last domestic title. Les Douges finished the 2010/2011 season in top position in the standings, eight points clear of second-placed Olympique Marseille and it has to be noted that Lille attacker Moussa Sow won the Golden Boot (25 goals).
Lille are one of the two teams that managed to win three consecutive Coupe de France trophies (1946, 1947, 1948), but they have yet to clinch the Coupe de la Ligue title. Les Dogues faced PSG in the 2015/2016 Coupe de la Ligue trophy, but les Parisiens proved to be a big catch for Frederic Antonetti’s team in the title game.
Lille play their home matches at Stade Pierre-Mauroy and the capacity of the stadium is 50.186. The venue was opened in August, 2017 and the construction cost €282 million.
