Fresh from squeezing into the Champions League last 16, Paris Saint-Germain return to Ligue 1 duties on Sunday evening when they visit Lille.

Lille are the most recent side other than PSG to win Ligue 1, claiming the title back in 2020/21, and continued their journey in continental competition by topping their Europa Conference League group.

Lille vs Paris Saint-Germain score prediction
PSG extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to six games with the draw at Dortmund, but little about the performance was impressive.
They'll be tested by a Lille side that boasts an even more impressive unbeaten streak of 13 matches which dates back to the end of September, though there is still a nine-point gap between the two teams in the Ligue 1 standings.
PSG are unbeaten on their league travels so far this season and will hope talisman Kylian Mbappe can add to the ten goals he has scored against Lille so far in his career.
Prediction: Lille 2-3 Paris Saint-Germain
