PSG vs Lyon Predictions and Betting Tips

Following a disappointing Champions League result, Les Parisiens look to get back to winning ways as they play hosts to Olympique Lyonnais this Sunday. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.

We were treated to a goal-fest the last time both sides went against one another in the French Ligue 1. PSG emerged victorious in a 4-2 victory, although this wasn't enough in the grand scheme of things as they eventually lost the league title to Lille. Would we see yet another goal-laded affair this weekend ?

Pochettino's troops in search of their sixth league win

PSG haven't put a foot wrong, yet, in the French top flight as they lead the way with a record of 15 points from a possible 15. Although the PSG hierarchy would be looking to regain the Ligue 1 crown from Lille, the star-studded side they've assembled for Pochettino certainly hints at them wanting a Champions League having come close two years ago. Les Parisiens kicked off their 2021/2022 Champions League campaign rather disappointingly as they failed to secure maximum points against Club Brugge in Belgium. Leo Messi featuring in his first full game for PSG on Wednesday, however, is something the PSG faithful can fondly look forward to.

Lyon didn't have an amazing start to the season with Peter Bosz and his troops failing to win either of their first three league games. A hard-fought win just before the international break was all the inspiration they needed as they head into this weekend's game off the back of three straight wins. Last time out, a goal in either half made sure of all three points as Lyon got the better of Rangers in their first Europa League group stage match. It is then left to see if they can use this momentum to upset this star-studded PSG side.
