One of the biggest matches of the French season will take place this Sunday, as PSG look to extend their advantage at the top of the standings. However, this could be an interesting assignment against a Lyon side that have shown excellent form in recent weeks.
Ligue 1 Preview
PSG appear on course to successfully defend their Ligue 1 title this term, and they could move 13 points clear at the summit with a victory this weekend. The Parisians come into this round in excellent confidence after winning two of their last three matches, while they also landed an excellent 4-1 success in midweek after comfortably seeing off Barcelona in the Champions League.
Lyon’s relegation worries are a thing of the past at this stage of the season, and they will now have their sights set on potentially finishing in a European position this term. The French side comes into this round after winning four of their last five, while they are also yet to suffer a defeat over that period. A success on Sunday in the French capital could see them move up to sixth.
PSG’s recent run of form in the league deserves a lot of respect, as they have avoided defeat in each of their last 23 matches in Ligue 1. This is their longest unbeaten sequence in the competition since going 27 without loss in 2015-16. Ironically, that unbeaten run was ended by Lyon.
No two teams have collected more points this calendar year than Lyon and PSG, with the visitors having picked up more than any other team so far in 2024. But, this will be a big challenge for the visitors, as PSG have only failed to score once in their 22 home matches under Luis Enrique this season.
PSG vs Lyon Head to Head
This will be the 90th time that these teams have collided in the league, with PSG holding the narrow advantage after winning on 37 occasions. However, it could be worth noting that Lyon have recorded two victories from their last three visits to the Parc des Princes.
PSG vs Lyon Prediction
PSG’s midweek exertions may have taken their toll coming into this weekend, meaning that we wouldn’t be surprised to see Lyon extend their fine record in this fixture. But, the draw could be their best potential outcome in the French capital on Sunday.
