Lille host Paris Saint-Germain at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy on Sunday, October 5, 2025, in what looks like one of the standout fixtures of the Ligue 1 weekend. Both teams head into this clash off the back of strong European results in midweek, and the timing makes it even more intriguing as it falls just before the international break.
Lille have shown two different faces this season. They started brightly with three wins and a draw from their first four games, but two successive league defeats have checked that momentum. In Europe, though, they proved their mettle with a hard-fought 1-0 victory away at Roma in the UEFA Europa League, as reported by Softfootball .
That win will give them belief, but the challenge now is to translate it into Ligue 1 form. Avoiding a third straight league defeat is crucial, something they haven't suffered since January 2020, and home advantage might play a role given they have won seven of their last nine Ligue 1 games at the Pierre-Mauroy.
