The match
Paris Saint-Germain will look to get back to winning ways as they host Lyon in a Ligue 1 match at Parc des Princes on Sunday. Ahead of this round, PSG are top of the standings with 66 points while the visitors are 10th with 41 points, both from 28 matches each. PSG were surprisingly beaten 2-0 by Rennes last time around, halting a four-game winning sequence in the league. They are still the best scoring team and have netted 68 goals in just 28 matches. That loss to Rennes came at this venue but otherwise PSG’s form has been very impressive. The hosts have won 11 and drew two of their last 14 league matches at home, raising their chances of claiming another win.
Lyon are just three points behind seventh-placed Nice and would be keen to keep challenging. They went into the international break on the back of a nine-game run during which they have won four and drawn four. Three of those draws have come in a row as Lyon looks for improving their patterns. One positive thing ahead of this tough match against leaders PSG is their away form with Lyon winning four and drawing two of their last seven away league matches.
Key Statistics
- PSG have seen goals at both ends in seven of their last nine Ligue 1 matches
- PSG have seen both teams score goals in four of their last five home Ligue 1 matches
- Six of Lyon’s last seven league matches have had goals at both ends
- Lyon’s last four away league matches have seen goals at both ends

The bet of our experts
Paris Saint-Germain lost their last league match before international break but they are still in control of the title race. Lyon may well be the right team to play under the circumstances as PSG are unbeaten in 14 of their last 15 home matches against Lyon. With their defensive performances, PSG are struggling to keep a clean sheet and that is likely to be repeated here. Our prediction for PSG vs Lyon is for both teams to score goals.
