Lyon vs PSG predictions: Visitors to hold their own
Key stats
- Back-to-back wins have reignited Lyon’s top six push.
- Lyon are winless in seven straight home H2Hs.
- PSG are unbeaten in 22 games this Ligue 1 campaign.
- The Parisians have scored at least once after half-time in their last 11 games.
Correct score prediction: Lyon 2-3 PSG
PSG have established the second longest unbeaten streak in the top-flight this century, only behind the 2015/16 version of themselves (27 games). Ironically, it was Lyon who ended that impressive run, beating PSG 2-1 at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais in February 2016.
However, this time around, PSG are expected to claim all three points, particularly after their midweek battering of Brest in the UEFA Champions League. They are unbeaten since falling to Bayern Munich in the UCL back in November 2024.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Clear away favourites
- HOME: 16/5 (4.20) – 23.8%
- DRAW: 10/3 (4.33) – 23.1%
- AWAY: 7/10 (1.70) – 58.8%
*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
PSG are well on their way to make history, as they continue to pick apart their French counterparts in a bid to go the whole campaign unbeaten. Their three-match winning streak in the league is expected to extend, backed by odds of 7/10 (1.70) – indicating a comfortable win probability of 58.8%.
Lyon might have ended their seven game winless run across all competitions with successive victories, but it is important to note that both of their triumphs came against sides lying at the foot of the table – Reims and Montpellier.
Naturally, bookmakers have priced their odds of victory at 16/5 (4.20), a 23.8% probability of success.

Player to watch: Bradley Barcola
Although all eyes will be on PSG top scorer Ousmane Dembele, it is Bradley Barcola who will relish the opportunity to face his boyhood club. The Lyon youth product has been in fine form for PSG this campaign, with 16 goal contributions (G11, A5) in 22 appearances. Back him to threaten his previous employers with a decisive performance.
