Lyon vs PSG preview, prediction, team news, and head-to-head

PSG comes into this match current league leaders with 24 points, but Lyon are not far behind, just four points back in 6th place and full of confidence.

PSG will be quick to bounce back from a rough midweek where they endured a 2-1 Champions League defeat to Bayern Munich. Luis Diaz scored the two goals for the German side before being sent off.

While not their most dominant performances, the Parisians have shown they can grind out results and remain unbeaten in their last 5 league matches (2W, 3D).

Lyon, in contrast, has been excellent on home soil. They have won six of their seven matches at the Groupama Stadium across all competitions, turning it into a real fortress.

However, their form away from home has been far more unpredictable, and they are still recovering from a recent European defeat. They lost 2-0 to Real Betis on Thursday, with Anthony being one of the goal scorers for Los Verdiblancos.

Paris Saint-Germain has clearly had the upper hand over Lyon in recent years. They have won the last five meetings across all competitions, including both Ligue 1 games last season.

Still, Lyon has managed to keep things interesting. They have scored in each of their last six matches against PSG, showing they can break through even the toughest defenses.

Paulo Fonseca is facing a tough selection situation with several key players missing. The manager will be without Midfielder Orel Mangala, who is out with a knee injury until December. Both Malick Fofana and  Ernest Nuamah are also sidelined.

The coach also ​has limited options at the back, as defenders Hans Hateboer and Abner Vinicius are under suspension, following their recent red cards. Despite the setbacks, Alexandre Lacazette is expected to lead the attack.​

Lyon: Greif; Maitland-Niles, Mata, Niakhate, Tagliafico; Morton; Sulc,Tessmann,Tolisso, Moreira; Satriano​

PSG: Chevalier; Zaire-Emery, Hernandez, Pacho, Zabarnyi; Ruiz, Neves,Vitinha; Barcola, Ramos, Kvaratskhelia​

Even with Lyon turning the Groupama Stadium into a tough place to visit, and PSG carrying the weight of midweek fatigue, this fixture still tilts in favour of the reigning champs. ​

With both sides packing attacking talent, this fixture often delivers goals, and over 2.5 goals has become a common theme whenever these two face off.

Prediction: Lyon 1-3 PSG
