Looking at the raw data, Lille's away matches have been absolute thrillers lately, averaging a massive 3.88 total goals per match. While PSG is slightly more conservative at home with a 2.88 average, the combined average of 3.38 goals per game strongly suggests the Over 2.5 line is a solid play. PSG manages to score about 2.38 goals per home game, and Lille, despite being the underdog, averages 2.13 goals on their travels. Both teams have shown a tendency to leave gaps when pushing forward, and with the attacking talent on display like Ousmane Dembele, the back of the net should ripple frequently.
