Lille vs PSG Prediction
At Draftkings, the wide favorite for an away win in Lille vs PSG is Paris St-Germain at -205.
Lille, meanwhile, is rated at +550. The draw is priced at +370.
Over/Under & Spread
Given the fact that PSG has scored 10 goals already and Lille has hit five in its two fixtures, this could be a free-scoring affair.
Therefore, the price of +330 for there to be five goals or more is an attractive one (TG -Ov4.5).
For there to be fewer than three goals, the price is +135 (TG Un2.5).
Meanwhile, the price of +320 for PSG to win by three goals or more is an attractive one (Spread –2.5).
Kylian Mbappe To Score Odds
Both superstars Lionel Messi and Neymar have scored twice in league games for Paris ahead of Lille vs PSG.
But it is fellow superstar Kylian Mbape who is most favored to score at +300 even though he missed a penalty against Montpellier last weekend.

Lille has won just two of its last 20 meetings with PSG with 14 defeats and four draws.
Furthermore, PSG has scored at least three goals in each of its last five away games in Ligue 1 – and is hoping to become the first team to manage that feat in six straight games.
Lille vs PSG Pick
These are two good, in-form French powerhouse teams. And PSG’s glittering trio of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe have all found the net early in the season.
So, after last season’s 5-1 win, something like a repeat could be on the cards – with the spread offer of +320 for PSG to win by three goals a compelling one.
Pick: PSG +320 (Spread -2.5).
