Lille will invite Paris FC to the Stade Pierre-Mauroy in Ligue 1 on Sunday. The hosts have won six of their 12 league games and have a six-point lead over the Blues.
Les Dogues have seen conclusive results in their last seven games in all competitions, recording three wins. They lost their two games before the international break. They fell to a 1-0 away loss to Red Star Belgrade in the UEFA Europa League, and their poor form continued in their 2-0 loss to Strasbourg in Ligue 1.
Thanks for the submission!
The visitors saw their unbeaten streak end after two games in their previous outing, as they fell to a 1-0 home defeat to Rennes. They failed to score for the first time since their campaign opener in that loss.

Lille vs Paris FC Prediction
Les Dogues have endured a poor run of form, losing three of their last four games in all competitions. Notably, these defeats were registered on their travels. They have scored 10 goals in their last three home games and will look to continue their prolific run here.
There are a few absentees for the hosts for this match, as Marc-Aurèle Caillard, Ousmane Touré, and Alexsandro are injured. Calvin Verdonk and Benjamin André will serve suspensions here.
Les Bleus suffered their third defeat in five games earlier this month and will look to improve upon that record. They have lost two of their three away meetings against the hosts, conceding seven goals.
Sofiane Alakouch, Jonathan Ikoné, and Pierre-Yves Hamel are the three injury concerns for the visitors. Otavio is suspended for the match due to the accumulation of yellow cards.
Les Lillois have an unbeaten record against the capital club, and considering their home advantage, we back them to eke out a narrow win.
