Paris Saint-Germain will be looking for revenge on Friday when the league leader hosts reigning champion Lille in a French Ligue 1 matchup at Parc de Princes. PSG (9-1-1) is winless in the last three meetings, and Lille snapped Les Parisiens' run of three straight Ligue 1 titles last season. PSG has won seven of the past nine league crowns and is seven points clear at the top of the table. Lille (4-3-4) has regressed since manager Christophe Galtier left for Nice, and it is trying to regain the momentum it was building before the international break.
Kickoff from Paris is set for 3 p.m ET. Paris Saint-Germain is the -225 favorite (risk $225 to win $100) on the 90-minute money line in the latest PSG vs. Lille odds from Caesars Sportsbook.

Why you should back Paris Saint-Germain
PSG has dominated Ligue 1 recently and is looking to tie Saint-Etienne with a league-record 10 titles. It will be eager to add to the league champions' woes, and it has added firepower to what was already the league's most talented team. Kylian Mbappe (five goals, five assists) remains the most dangerous option, but Neymar (two goals, two assists) and Lionel Messi are also world-class talents. Messi is off to a slow start but is considered the best of all time and forms what is likely the world's best midfield along with Neymar and Angel Di Maria (goal, two assists).
PSG has 24 goals in the 11 matches and faces a Lille team that has scored 14 while yielding 16. It is looking to rebound from a scoreless draw with Marseille last weekend. Les Parisiens have won all five games at home this season, scoring 14 goals and conceding just four. They lead the league in possession (62.7 percent) and are fourth in shots (144), putting 30 percent on target. Goalkeepers Keylor Navas and Gianluigi Donnarumma are both among the best in the world, holding opponents to 0.91 goals per game, the third-lowest mark in the league.
Why you should back Lille
Lille has struggled so far under new manager Jocelyn Gourvennec, but it appeared to be turning a corner before the international break at the start of October. It had won three straight league matches -- outscoring Reims, Strasbourg and Marseille 6-2 -- but it has struggled against bottom-feeders in its past two. It dominated possession in both matches but lost 1-0 to Clermont Foot and played to a 1-1 draw with Brest. It has not yielded a goal in the last three matches against PSG and pulled off a stunning 1-0 victory in Paris on its way to the title last season.
Les Dogues have some scoring punch, and they hold the ball an average of 53 percent of matches (sixth in the league). Jonathan David is tied for the league lead with seven goals, and five others have scored at least twice. Burak Yilmaz still thrives at age 36, and the Turkish striker has two goals to go with two assists. Lille is likely to play a physical game, and it is third in the league with 27 yellow cards while midfielder Benjamin Andre leads the league with 25 fouls. Croatian goalkeeper Ivo Grbic has a save percentage of 76.5, fourth-best in the league.
