Paris FC and Olympique Lyon will be putting their unbeaten starts on the line when they meet in Ligue 1. Both having managed seven goals and a +4 goal difference, occupy second and third positions. These sides drew their two meetings last season, and given their starts, our prediction will back another scoring draw.
After dropping the lead twice against Marseille last week, Paris FC managed to drive home the last nail to beat the French giants 3-2. That was the second straight game in which they scored three.
They’ve now avoided defeat in three straight games to start a Ligue 1 season for the first time, a run they’ll want to extend. Their home form is also great, and they will bank on that too for victory over Lyon.
Lyon have gotten through their European disappointment after their Champions League elimination. As they prepare for the Europa League, they’ve had the perfect warmup in Ligue 1.
Les Gones are unbeaten in their first three matches. After being held to a 1-1 draw by Le Havre, they are back to winning ways after recording a 3-1 win over Auxerre in their last outing.
The biggest concern at Lyon at this point in time will be the fact that in seven matches so far, they have only managed two clean sheets. That will be more pronounced, especially as they face a side that has scored six times in the last two games.

Our Paris FC vs Lyon Prediction
This will be one of the highly anticipated matches in the fourth week of Ligue 1 action. The two sides have been in top form in Ligue 1 and at the moment are the closest challengers to league leaders, Monaco.
Last season this fixture served up two entertaining matches, and we feel the same could be on the way. The two sides played to home and away draws, scoring a total of eight goals. The corresponding fixture had each side score three times, and the same is a possibility, looking at their strong starts this term. Our prediction for Paris FC v Lyon is for a draw + BTTS.
