Lyon – PSG preview: Latest form, news, and potential lineups
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for this duel, including our predicted Lyon vs PSG lineups.
Lyon
Lyon made a dreadful start to the season and only last weekend they earned their first point. Uninspiring display but still good enough to secure a 0-0 away draw vs Nice. Never looked like scoring but for the first time this season defended well.
Coach Blanc remains under huge pressure. Rumours about his imminent sacking keep circling.
Lyon are currently without arguably their 2 best players. Captain and top goalscorer Lacazette is bitterly missed but he remains suspended. Also, the team’s best centre-back Lovren is yet to play due to injury. Key goalie Lopes was also absent recently. He trains again though and might make a welcomed return between the sticks this weekend.
Predicted Lineup:
Lopes (GK), Kumberi, Caleta-Car, Diomande, Tagliafico, Maitland-Niles, Tolisso, Cherki, Caqueret, Jeffinho & Kadewere
PSG
PSG finally showed their championship pedigree last weekend when they beat Lens 3-1 at home. Mbappe was once again unplayable and since deciding to stay he has scored 3 of PSG’s 4 goals.
Can’t afford more mistakes after consecutive draws to start the season already cost them precious points.
PSG know they have to be focused as just last April they lost 0-1 at home vs Lyon. Also, none of the last 3 H2Hs had more than 2 goals in them so the Parisians know the value of the opening goal.
The injury list remains long. Right now 8 players are nursing problems and from them, only Ramos has a slim chance to play. Also, signed only this week winger Barcola is not expected to face the club he just left and will have to wait for his debut after the international break.
Predicted Lineup:
Donnarumma (GK), Hakimi, Correa, Skriniar, Hernandez, Zaire-Emery, Ugarte, Fereira, Dembele, Asensio & Mbappe
Starting Lineups
The teams usually announce their starting lineups one hour before the start of the game.
Lyon
PSG
Player to Watch: Kylian Mbappe
For several years now everything at PSG starts and finishes with Kylian Mbappe. Even more so now Messi and Neymar have left the club. PSG’s record goalscorer has started just one league game since deciding to stay and yet he has scored 3 of PSG’s 4 goals so far this season.
Mbappe will fancy his chances against the crippled backline of Lyon and we can see him dominating and scoring more goals.
