Olympique Lyon will head to PSG seeking three points against the injury-ravaged champions. The two sides occupying the top slots face off to mark the close of matchday eight. Both sides scored in their last seven meetings, and our prediction backs the same.
PSG started slow but have caught up with the rest after a sustained positive run, especially in Ligue 1. Ahead of this encounter, they handed Barcelona their first defeat of the season, winning 4-2 at home.
Four straight wins since their loss to Monaco place PSG behind leaders Lyon on goal difference. The champions of France and Europe have won seven straight games ahead of this encounter. In 12 matches this season, they managed just one clean sheet.
Lyon will be happy to face a PSG side without four key men – Marquinhos, Ousmane Dembele, Nuno Mendes and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, all of whom are injured.
However, there is one man who has been a thorn to Lyon’s flesh – Desire Doue. In all the 13 matches the French international scored against Lyon, PSG won.
As they focus on stopping the champions, Lyon hope to recover from their 3-0 loss to Hoffenheim in the Europa League. They return to Ligue 1 looking to record back-to-back wins over PSG, having triumphed 2-1 the last time they faced off in April.
That was only their second win 10 meetings with the reigning champions. In this matchup, Lyon have lost seven times in the last 10 against PSG.
