Team News

Paris Saint Germain
  • PSG will again be without defenders Thiago Silva and Alex, who are out due to thigh and knee injuries respectively.
  • Thiago Motta is still suspended following his dismissal against Ajaccio, while Mohamed Sissoko and Siaka Tiene are both away at the African Cup of Nations.
Lille
  • Lille are set to be minus midfielder Rio Mavuba, who has an ankle injury, and Franck Beria, who has a thigh problem.
  • Ryan Mendes and Salomon Kalou are both participating in the African Cup of Nations and are unavailable.

Prediction

  • Paris Saint-Germain will be looking to consolidate their lead of the top when they take on Lille at the Parc Des Princes.
  • Carlo Ancelotti's men moved back to the summit of Ligue 1 with a 1-0 win at Bordeaux, Zlatan Ibrahimovic on target for his 19th league goal of the campaign. However Lille continued their disappointing season as they slumped to a 2-0 home defeat to Nice.
  • Les Dogues now have the just the Coupe de France as their only real chance of success, but that may prove to be to their benefit as they head into this big clash relieved of just about any pressure.
  • Still, PSG possess a side stacked with quality, and in front of their home fans they should be able to race to a comfortable victory.
