One of the matches of the 24th round of the French championship will be played on Saturday in Paris, where the local PSG will host Lille. I propose a bet on goals in this match with a good chance of success.
Match Preview
Luis Enrique's men are currently firing on all cylinders – the team has put together an impressive run of 20 matches without defeat in all competitions. In the last Ligue 1 round, PSG triumphed over Lyon in a challenging away game (3-2), where Hakimi played a key role with a brace, and Dembele added his own goal.
The Parisians confidently lead the French championship, boasting 59 points with a goal difference of 62:22. In the scoring race, Dembele leads the "red and blues" – the Frenchman already has 17 goals and four assists. The home arena remains a true fortress for PSG – the team hasn’t lost in front of their fans for nine matches straight.
The "Bulldogs" are having a solid season, balancing between victories and setbacks. In a stretch of ten matches, the team secured six wins but stumbled four times. In the last Ligue 1 round, Bruno Genesio's men showcased character, overcoming Monaco (2-1). The main hero of the match was Haraldsson, who scored a brace.
Lille holds the fourth spot in the championship, having garnered 41 points with a goal difference of 38:23. In the scoring race for the "dogs," Jonathan David is ahead – the Canadian has already tallied 12 goals and three assists. Away from home, the team performs inconsistently: in ten games, four wins, four draws, and two losses.
