LOSC Lille vs PSG Prediction 05.10.2025 | Ligue 1

LOSC Lille, who lost their first-choice goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier and Canadian talisman Jonathan David over the summer, did not allow the departure of this influential duo to derail their ambitions, starting the 2025-26 Ligue 1 campaign in perfect fashion with three wins and a draw from the opening four rounds.

Unfortunately, the Mastiffs’ strong home run has slowed down in their latest pair of league fixtures, as they suffered defeats against Lens and Lyon without scoring a single goal while conceding four, which dropped them to sixth, but just two points behind Marseille who currently occupy the automatic UCL spot.

What matters most is that their consecutive league defeats have not affected their European campaign, as LOSC Lille have produced some remarkable performances in the opening two rounds of the Europa League, first edging Brann 2-1 at home before stunning AS Roma 1-0 in the Italian capital.

While the absences of Ousmane Toure and Thomas Meunier have been confirmed, Brazilian centre-back Alexsandro will face a late fitness test to determine his availability for the crucial Sunday clash.

Although they had to omit five players from last season’s final of the competition, a shorthanded PSG delivered a brilliant performance on Catalan ground midweek, recovering from a 1-0 deficit to stun Barcelona 2-1 in the Champions League’s second round.

Full of confidence after a brilliant comeback against the Catalan giant, Les Parisiens turn their attention back to domestic duties with a clear intention to maintain their place at the top of the table, even if only on goal difference, before the two-week international break, and they will be eager to make amends for the 1-0 loss to Marseille — their only defeat of the season, which came in their most recent Ligue 1 away outing.

Visits to Stade Pierre-Mauroy often prove tricky for opposing sides, but Luis Enrique’s high-flying troops will be hoping to get the desired result from Sunday’s clash, drawing strength and inspiration from a strong away record in Ligue 1, where they have won 33 of their last 44 road matches.

PSG are still grappling with injury woes, as starters Marquinhos, Joao Neves, Desire Doue, and 2025 Golden Boot winner Ousmane Dembele are all confirmed to miss out, while Khvicha Kvaratskhelia faces a late call-up.
