Lyon vs PSG: Preview and Prediction

Lyon vs PSG
French Ligue 1
Date: Sunday, 27th November 2016
Kick off at 19:45 UK Time
Venue: Olympique Lyonnais Stadium, Lyon.

It’s the big game in France as Lyon so dominant with 7 titles in a row in the 2000s will come face to face with the multiple champions PSG.

After a sluggish start Lyon seem to have their mojo back and have won their last 3 games in a row to fire the club up to 5th position. They are currently 7 points behind PSG so a win here is really needed to keep pace with them. They come into the match with a good healthy squad.

PSG are back to their best, a good 2-2 draw away to Arsenal in the Champions League has given them the best chance to top that group and in the league they have 13 points from their last 15 as they pile the pressure on Nice and Monaco at the top of the standings. Away from home they have won 4 games from the six played and lost two. Lyon will be hoping to make that three losses.

Lyon vs PSG: Head to Head Stats

PSG have not beaten Lyon away from home in 3 years, last season this game ended 2-1 to Lyon. There have been many goals in the fixture where PSG are at home but there is a completely different story at Lyon where we usually on average see little activity. Lyon has been leading this game three from the last three matches at home at half time.

Lyon vs PSG: Prediction

Against the stronger teams namely Monaco, PSG have struggled on the road. This is a huge game for Lyon in terms of sticking to their nearest rivals and a loss here could kill off any league or Champions League qualification hopes. Lyon are in great form and have a good home record, a fit squad helps. Usually it’s a little crazy to go against PSG but we will take the great value on a home win for Lyon.
