Lille have lost two of their last three matches and must become more consistent. But LOSC was in the top 5 before this 13th day and can achieve a nice success on Sunday evening. To do this, we will have to beat a Paris FC installed in the middle of the table but which lost before the break

Beaten in Strasbourg (0-1) before the international break, LOSC wants to react at home and secure a 3rd victory in a row at home. A result which would allow him to overtake Rennes (5th) and Strasbourg (4th).
