While PSG haven't been as dominant in Ligue 1 this season as usual, they are at the top with one point more than Lens, with two games in hand. More importantly, they seem to be at the peak of their power at the moment, just in perfect time for the finish of the season in which they're still competing for two trophies.
One of them is Ligue 1, of course, while the other is the Champions League, where PSG are also the reigning champions. PSG have been amazing since the knockouts in the Champions League started, eliminating Monaco, Chelsea, and Liverpool and winning five of six games they've played.
All in all, things are falling into place for Les Parisiens and their fans are rightfully hoping for another historic season.
When it comes to team news, Luis Enrique remains without Fabian Ruiz and Quentin Ndjantou Mbitcha, while Desire Doue and Nuno Mendes are questionable after suffering knocks against Liverpool a few days ago.
Meanwhile, Lyon enter this game hoping to build on their recent win over Lorient, which was their first win after nine winless games in all competitions. This poor run included elimination from the Europa League by Celta Vigo, along with a loss to Lens in the Coupe de France after penalties.
Overall, Lyon are having a solid season in Ligue 1, where they are currently fifth in the standings and still very much in the race for a place in the Champions League for next season, given that they're just a couple of points behind third-placed Lille.
That being said, Lyon have an extensive injury list at this moment, with Malick Fofana, Pavel Sulc, Ernest Nuamah, Remi Himbert, Corentin Tolisso, and Noham Camara all slated to miss this match. On top of that, Nicolas Tagliafico is suspended.

Whispers predicts: Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 Lyon
It's hard to see Lyon resisting PSG in this game, given how great the hosts have been lately and Lyon's recent struggles with just one win in their last 10 games in all competitions, especially coupled with PSG's domination in recent H2H meetings. So, backing PSG to win and lead at half-time at 17/20 seems like a no-brainer.
Similar to this is our other prediction of PSG scoring three or more goals, which is priced at even odds. After all, Paris Saint-Germain have scored three or more goals in five of their last six meetings with Lyon.
Finally, Ousmane Dembele to score at any time is priced at 11/10 odds, which seems to be very good value for a player who has 10 goals in just 17 games in the league this season.
> PSG/PSG at 17/20 | Likelihood: Probable
> PSG over 2.5 total goals at 1/1 | Likelihood: Probable
> Ousmane Dembele to score at any time at 11/10 | Likelihood: Probable
> Correct score 3-1 at 10/1 | Likelihood: Outsider
