Lyon brought to a halt their winless run and will hope to carry on when they travel to the capital to face PSG. With two games in hand, league leaders PSG head into this game 12 points ahead of Lyon, who are fifth. Let’s have a look at the match prediction.
PSG are cruising well in their title defences both at home and in Europe. They are on a six-game winning run ahead of this encounter, coming off another solid performance in the Champions League.
They beat Liverpool 2-0 away from home to complete a 4-0 aggregate rout, and now the focus shifts to Ligue 1. Last time out in the league, they trounced Toulouse 3-1.
Lyon beat Lorient 2-0 to return to winning ways after nine winless outings where they lost four times and got eliminated from the French Cup. At 51 points, they are still in a strong place to bid for a top three finish.
Their record against PSG, however, could mean they defer the target to the next match. Lyon have lost each of their last six matches against Lyon in all competitions.
In five of the last six meetings, they conceded three or more. That, and a five-game winless away run doesn’t bode well for their ambitions.

Our PSG vs Lyon Prediction
Lyon have just come back to winning ways after a tough run in nine straight winless outings. They wouldn’t have wanted to meet PSG immediately, but this is their chance to taste themselves against the big boys.
The visitors haven’t done well away from home lately, and that will add to the stern test they walk into here. PSG won each of the last two matches they hosted Lyon, scoring seven goals. Our prediction for PSG v Lyon is that PSG wins and over 2.5 goals.
