Lille hosts Paris Saint-Germain in round 16 of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Sunday, December 20th at Stade Pierre-Mauroy (Villeneuve d'Ascq)
If not quibble, Lille had a good start in the 2020/2021 season. The team lost only once in the first 15 rounds. In other cases, the Great Danes managed to score points. Four victories in the last five matches of the French championship allowed Christophe Galtier's men to temporarily rise to the first line of the standings. In the middle of the week, the Great Danes gained a confident victory over Dijon (0:2). First, Yusuf Yazici scored a relatively quick goal, and then the 20-year-old former striker of PSG Timothy Weah marked a decisive end to the match.

PSG made it to the Champions League playoffs, and it is at the top of the standings in Ligue 1. The season is difficult, so this year Paris Saint-Germain does not have a huge point lead over its closest rivals. The Parisians' unbeaten streak in all tournaments ended last weekend. Thomas Tuchel's men managed to lose to their principled rival Lyon at home (0:1). Yes, the team didn't gain three points, but the worse news was that Neymar picked up a serious injury in the last minutes of the meeting. Thiago Mendes roughly jumped in the Brazilian and received a direct red card. Neymar is in good shape, so this is a big loss for Paris Saint-Germain.
In the previous season, PSG beat Lille twice with the same 2:0 score. As you can see, the number of goals was minimal. The Parisians are favorites in the upcoming meeting, but the Great Danes will play at home, and the opponent has several losses. Neymar, Marquinhos, Icardi, Bernat, Sarabia, and Diallo will not help the visitors in this important game. Bearing this in mind, let's assume that the fans will see the minimum number of goals scored on TV. The calendar is difficult, and the teams play twice a week, so fatigue should also affect scoring indicators.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.5 goals scored
