The Ligue 1 returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as Lyon lock horns with Christophe Galtier’s PSG side in a crucial encounter at the Parc des Princes on Sunday.
Lyon are currently in 10th place in the Ligue 1 standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The away side played out a 1-1 draw against Nantes last month and will need to take it up a notch to stand a chance in this fixture.
PSG, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The Parisian giants slumped to a stunning 2-0 defeat at the hands of Rennes in their previous game and cannot afford another debacle in the league this weekend.

PSG vs Lyon Prediction
PSG have an excellent squad at their disposal but have largely struggled to hit their peak over the course of their Ligue 1 campaign. The likes of Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe can be lethal on their day and will need to be at their best this weekend.
Lyon have troubled PSG in the past and will need to play out of their skins to pull off a result in this match. PSG are the better team on paper and should be able to win this game.
Prediction: PSG 3-1 Lyon

PSG vs Lyon Odds
We say: Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 Lyon
With Lyon seemingly growing in confidence on the goalscoring front and PSG simply unable to shut up shop on home soil, an entertaining affair between two giants of the French game could very well materialise here.
As alarm-raising as PSG’s loss to Rennes was, the champions were working with a ravaged backline – which should not be the case here – and Galtier’s refreshed troops should revert to type with all three points, but not without a couple of scares along the way.
