Lille predicted XI v Paris FC: Nabil Bentaleb out, Matias Fernandez-Pardo to lead the line | OneFootball

Lille OSC head to Paris FC on Sunday, looking for three points that will keep their hopes of a podium finish in Ligue 1 alive. 

However, Lille will be without one of their key midfielders, Nabil Bentaleb, for the occasion. However, relative to recent weeks, the infirmary is quite empty. Only Marius Broholm and Hamza Igamane join him in being absent for the trip to the French capital.

Igamane’s ACL injury, sustained at AFCON, has left LOSC short of options, with Olivier Giroud the only other recognised No.9. However, France’s record goalscorer is not expected to start at the Stade Jean Bouin. Instead, it is Matias Fernandez-Pardo who is expected to lead the line, with Hakon Arnar Haraldsson behind him in the No.10 role.
