Lille continues their poor form with a narrow 1:0 loss away to Bordeaux last weekend. Neither of the teams tried to much on the field, with the players of Lille looking just a bit more active, scoring the only goal in 62nd minute from Diabate.
Visitors didn’t manage to reply for the remaining thirty minutes, neither looking like they want to – as the team shows great lack of quality in the creative midfield and attack. They are now on a run of ten matches with not a single victory in all competitions as they now stand only two points away from relegation zone. Atmosphere is pretty poor right now, while the team can’t count on more positive result after this game. Very important central defender Marko Basa (16/0) is having a hamstring injury and won’t perform, as well as offensive midfielder Marcos Lopes (9/1). Coach Girard is happy to have Sébastien Corchia, Franck Beria and Pape Souare back here.
PSG now earned their ninth victory in a row in all competitions, coming from a 1:0 victory over Nice at home. Only goal was scored via penalty kick in 15th minute by Ibrahimovic, while the team didn’t show anything special for the whole game, being obviously satisfied with the narrow lead.
After Tuesday’s setback of Marseille in a 1:1 draw away to Lorient, PSG now has a chance to get back to the first position in case of a victory here. They are still undefeated in the league with 9-6-0 record, while it seems that poor form of their creative midfielders is past now and that the team scores with more ease in recent weeks. Marco Verratti is available here according to their coach Blanc. Thiago Motta and David Luiz are likely to sit out here and be rested. Substitute central midfielder Clement Chantome (8/0) and midfielder Yohan Cabaye (11/1) are out injured for this one.
PSG have won their last 6 matches in Ligue 1. Lille have lost 5 of their last 6 matches in Ligue 1. Lille have seen over 2.5 goals in their last 3 home matches against PSG. Having in mind both team’s forms, it’s hard to imagine anything but away victory here. PSG might rest once again their biggest star Ibrahimovic, but they have much more quality in whole roster and the hosts shouldn’t be able to
stay competitive with them for whole ninety minutes.
