LiontipsPSG vs Lyon. Prediction and Betting Tips for Ligue 1
Command Analysis
PSG failed to achieve a success in last few matches before the international break. Club got eliminated from the Champions League after a defeat to Bayern (0:2). After that, Christophe Galtier's men lost to Rennes for a second time in the current season (0:2). Between these matches, team managed to beat relegation-threatened Brest (2:1).
Ligue 1 remains the only trophy that PSG can win in the current season. Club is currently six points ahead of Marseille, who already dropped points this matchday. A victory over Lyon will help Paris to extend the gap.
PSG have some of their key players on the injuried list – Kimpembe, Mukiele, Ramos and Neymar. There are also rumours circulating about the future of Mbappe and Messi in the team.
Lyon also failed to achieve a success in recent matches before the international break. Club is currently on a long unbeaten run, but in three latest matches the Lions had three draws. Team failed to beat a 14th-placed Nantes (1:1) in one of these games.
Laurent Blanc's men are far from European places right now. Team is currently at the 10th position with 41 points in the asset. Lyon are nine points away from Top-5, so the Lions are unlikely to qualify for European competitions this time.

Tip and bets
We are expecting a high-scoring game here. PSG will surely try to get a comfortable victory in an attempt to regain confidence, because recent results sparked rumours about the possible resignation of Christophe Galtier. Mbappe will probably be unstoppable in this game. But Lyon are unlikely to sit on defense. Team is currently in a long unbeaten run, so visitors have a chance to put up a fight.
Our prediction - total over three goals
However, we are expecting a victory from PSG. Many players had the time to rest during the international break. Some star players played for their national teams, but hosts still should be able to get a victory over Lyon. The Lions had no victories in head-to-head matches since 2020.
Our second bet - Handicap (-1.5) on PSG
