Lyon vs Paris Saint-Germain prediction: Parisians to return home with maximum points
Key stats
- Lyon are winless in three successive fixtures across all competitions.
- Les Gones are undefeated in nine of their last seven home outings.
- Paris Saint-Germain have lost only twice in their last 10 competitive games.
- The Parisians are unbeaten in six straight Ligue 1 matches.
Correct score prediction: Lyon 1-2 Paris Saint-Germain
Lyon saw their four-match unbeaten streak come to an end, as Real Betis comfortably beat them 2-0 in the UEFA Europa League. Paulo Fonseca’s men have been held to back-to-back draws in Ligue 1, and a victory is the need of the hour if they are to close their four-point gap to the league leaders.
Paris Saint-Germain themselves were on the receiving end of a defeat after going down 2-1 to Bayern Munich at home in the UEFA Champions League. A recent drop in attacking form is a cause for concern as well, with the visitors netting just thrice in as many games.
With both sides reeling on the back of recent defeats, a tightly-fought contest is on the cards, but PSG’s quality and two extra days of rest should be enough to oust the hosts.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Odds against OL
- HOME: 27/10 (3.70) – 27%

*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Lyon have failed to find the back of the net in back-to-back competitive games, and possess just 16 goals to their name this Ligue 1 term – the fewest amongst the top six teams. They are backed by 27/10 (3.70) odds, implying a 27% chance of success.
The visitors are priced at 17/20 (1.85) odds, with their impressive league form perhaps an indicator for their majority 54% win probability rate.

Player to watch: Bradley Barcola
Former Lyon talent Bradley Barcola will be itching to get back to where he started and make a show out of it. With four goals to his name, Barcola is PSG’s top scorer in Ligue 1 this season. His ability to link up with Goncalo Ramos and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia will prove pivotal in unlocking the home defence.
