Lyon vs Paris Saint-Germain Preview and Team News

Lyon Team News

Lyon earned their second consecutive victory in Ligue 1 after beating Montpellier 1-4 on the road. Despite a draw in the first half, the visitors came energized in the second and scored three unanswered goals.

Following the win, Lyon sit sixth with 36 points, and even though they’re 20 points behind the leaders PSG, the gap with the Champions League zone is only four. Paulo Fonseca’s men seem to be prolific in the attack, and scoring back-to-back four goals will undoubtedly boost their confidence.

The hosts will approach Sunday’s fixture with an optimal squad. Only Paul Akouokou and Warmed Omari will miss the game due to injuries. 

Lyon predicted lineup vs Paris Saint-Germain (4-3-3): Donnarumma; Mendes, Pacho, Beraldo, Hakimi; Ruiz, Neves, Vitinha; Barcola, Kvaratskhelia, Dembele. 

Paris Saint-Germain Team News

Paris Saint-Germain extended their unbeaten run to 19 events across all tournaments after sweeping Brest 7-0 in the second leg of the Champions League (10-0) aggregate. The dominant performance in both meetings was clearly visible, and now they’ll face either Liverpool or Barcelona.

In Ligue 1, PSG are on the verge of claiming their fourth consecutive trophy. Luis Enrique’s men are 10 points clear of second-placed Marseille, and it seems no other team can compete with the French giants.

Ahead of the match, Paris Saint-Germain are practically without absences. Only Warren Zaire-Emery is set to miss the fixture after suffering an ankle injury. 

Paris Saint-Germain predicted lineup vs Lyon (4-2-3-1): Lucas Perri; Tagliafico, Niakhate, Clinton Mata, Kumbedi; Matic, Veretout; Nuamah, Tolisso, Cherki; Mikautadze.

Lyon vs Paris Saint-Germain Prediction 

• Pick: PSG to Win
• Odds: 1.80 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Lyon 1-3 Paris Saint-Germain

Paris Saint-Germain might be one of the best teams in Europe, considering their fabulous display both at the domestic and European level. They’re on a seven-event winning streak, scoring 26 goals in the process.

The encounter against a Brest was a walkover, and Enrique managed to rest his key players in the second half. While they’re playing on the road, PSG are favourites against Lyon. Moreover, in the previous nine H2H matches, they won seven times.

The hosts might be in good form, but we don’t think they’ll be a game for the visitors at present. Our first pick in this clash would be Paris Saint-Germain to win. 

Lyon vs Paris Saint-Germain Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Over 3.5 Goals
• Odds: 1.80 (22Bet)

In recent years, matchups between Lyon and Paris Saint-Germain have always delighted us with plenty of action. For instance, in the last four games, three ended with at least four goals scored. 

In addition, if we take a look at displays from both sides lately, they have significantly improved in the attack. Against Brest, for instance, PSG had 20 shot attempts. Lyon, on the other hand, scored eight goals in just two fixtures.

We think the trend will continue in the upcoming encounter, and we can look forward to a high-scoring affair. Additionally, both teams have numerous high-quality players like Georges Mikautadze, Ousmane Dembélé, Bradley Barcola, Ernest Nuamah and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who can produce miracles. 

Our second pick would be over 3.5 goals.
