PSG come into the game on the back of a shock 2-0 home loss at the hands of Rennes in Ligue 1 prior to the international break. Rennes opened the scoring shortly before half time and it took them only 3 minutes of the second half to double their advantage.
The result means PSG have lost twice to Rennes in the league this season, making them only the third team to do the double over PSG in Ligue 1 since 2011.
The defeat to Rennes means PSG have won 1 of their last 3 matches in all competitions. There was a 2-0 loss at Bayern Munich in the Champions League, which saw PSG eliminated from the competition and a 2-1 win at Brest in Ligue 1.
In terms of Ligue 1, PSG have won 4 of their last 5 games, with the wins coming over Lille and Nantes at home plus Brest and Marseille away. PSG have won 10 of their 12 most recent home Ligue 1 fixtures and are unbeaten in 35 of their last 36 home league matches.
Lyon travel to the French capital having been held to a 1-1 draw at home by Nantes in Ligue 1 before the internationals. It was the away team who opened the scoring after only 2 minutes but Lyon scored the equaliser 22 minutes later to claim a point.
The draw with Nantes means Lyon are undefeated in their last 5 matches in all competitions. There have been wins over Angers away in Ligue 1 and Grenoble Foot 38 in the Coupe de France.
Trends show Lyon are undefeated in 8 of their 9 most recent Ligue 1 fixtures but they have recorded just a single victory from their last 5 league matches, drawing each of the last 3 Ligue 1 games.
Away form in Ligue 1 shows Lyon are undefeated in 6 of their last 7 matches on the road. There have been over 2.5 goals in 4 of the latest away Ligue 1 matches of Lyon.
Team news and PSG have several players on the treatment table, including Sergio Ramos, Carlos Soler, Achraf Hakimi, Nordi Mukiele, Marquinhos, Presnel Kimpembe, and Neymar Jr.
Lyon are without the injured duo of Anthony Lopes and Malo Gusto.
Even without a few of their big name players, PSG are still the top team in France and start as favourites to win this game. Lyon can score in this game but you must go back to March 2021 to find the last time PSG lost two successive Ligue 1 matches at home.
We expect PSG to come out on top, with both teams scoring.
