Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Lille will be aiming to build on a splendid 7-1 win over Lorient when they face Toulouse on Matchday 4. Les Dogues are brimming with confidence ahead of Sunday’s clash, but they will have to showcase their worth on the field. A man to watch in the home team will be Mathias Fernandez-Pardo, who has been producing excellent performances in Ligue 1 ever since summer signing Olivier Giroud suffered a hamstring injury. Defender Tiago Santos remains in the recovery room.
Les Pitchouns, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 6-3 defeat to PSG and given Lille’s signs of improvement, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. In their last meeting at Stade Pierre-Mauroy, Lille defeated Toulouse 2-1 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. There are no fresh injury concerns in the visiting team.
Highlighted Team (Lille):

Lille have been playing an important role in French football ever since they were founded in 1944. Les Dogues won their first domestic trophy in the 1945/1946 season.
Lille did well to win their second Ligue 1 title in 1954 and 57 years later they lifted their last domestic title. Les Douges finished the 2010/2011 season in top position in the standings, eight points clear of second-placed Olympique Marseille and it has to be noted that Lille attacker Moussa Sow won the Golden Boot (25 goals).
Lille are one of the two teams that managed to win three consecutive Coupe de France trophies (1946, 1947, 1948), but they have yet to clinch the Coupe de la Ligue title. Les Dogues faced PSG in the 2015/2016 Coupe de la Ligue trophy, but les Parisiens proved to be a big catch for Frederic Antonetti’s team in the title game.
Lille play their home matches at Stade Pierre-Mauroy and the capacity of the stadium is 50.186. The venue was opened in August, 2017 and the construction cost €282 million.
