Lyon vs PSG

PSG are aiming to strengthen their lead at the top of the table when they host Lyon in a French League 1 fixture.

The hosts are looking solid at home this season, while the visitors have done some good work on their travels lately. Both teams have quality going forward and could be set to offer up goals here.

Lyon News

Lyon head into this clash off the back of a 2-0 defeat at Real Betis in a UEFA Europa League clash. The goals were scored in the first half, and they failed to get back into the contest despite seeing plenty of possession.

That was the third straight match without a win for Lyon, who were held to a 1-1 draw at Brest in their previous Ligue 1 fixture. However, Francesco Farioli's team have been solid at Groupama Stadium, winning six of their last seven matches across all competitions.

Lyon often show their attacking quality at home and have scored in their last seven matches at Groupama Stadium. However, they are without a clean sheet in two of the last three fixtures on this run, both of which have produced over 2.5 goals.

PSG News

PSG are also coming off a European defeat, having lost 2-1 at home to Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League. That was only the second defeat across all competitions for Luis Enrique’s team, who triumphed 1-0 over Nice in their previous Ligue 1 fixture.

Despite not being their usual dominant selves this season, PSG remain two points clear at the top of the Ligue 1 table. The Parisians have also done some good work on their travels and are unbeaten in six of their last seven away matches across all competitions.

PSG are without forwards Desire Doue and Ousmane Dembele but still boast quality in attack and have scored over 1.5 goals in three of their last five away matches. All three fixtures have produced over 2.5 goals, while they are without a clean sheet in seven of their last 10 matches across all competitions.

Head to Head

PSG have eight wins and two draws while Lyon have only picked up two victories in the last 12 matches. The Parisians did the double last season, claiming a 3-2 victory in the away clash.

Verdict

Lyon v PSG

Lyon and PSG have both scored in their last five matches, all of which have produced over 2.5 goals. Given both teams’ penchant for open encounters, a similar outcome could be considered in this clash.

PSG are among the best attacking teams in the league, and having scored over 1.5 goals in the last five matches against Lyon, a similar pattern could be on the cards here.
