Paulo Fonseca's team played in the Europa League last week, failed to beat Hoffenheim in Germany, and the match ended in a crushing defeat. In the first half, the children missed a goal into the locker room, and in the 49th minute of the game they were already 0-2 down and could not cope with the pressure of the Germans. At the end of the match, Lyon conceded the third goal and eventually lost 0:3. This loss was the first in the second most important European tournament, where the team with six points takes 11th place in the standings.
Lyon is playing well in the championship and after seven rounds is in fourth place with 14 points in the asset. In the last round, Fonseca's team faced Nice and won a strong-willed victory over the eaglets. The game ended 2-1, with all three goals scored in the first half. Earlier, the team could not cope with Lance, losing 1-2.
Disqualifications and injuries
Openda, Schultz, Tagliafico, Ouedraogo and Kango will miss the game due to injuries. Nakamura is disqualified.
Interesting betting trends
In the last four games in a row, the kids have conceded at least one goal each.
Lyon has failed to beat PSG in six of the last seven matches.
The match will take place on the evening of the presentation of the Golden Ball. Parisians have 10 nominees for the main personal award in football, but they have to solve a team task on the field. In the fight for leadership, the rivals scored the same number of points, Henrique's wards have the task of leaving Lyon with nothing and becoming the sole leaders of Ligue 1. Paris, Monaco and Lille lost points, and if they win, the Parisians will come first for the first time this season.
PSG looks stronger in terms of composition, and in four consecutive matches in all tournaments they won by two goals. In face-to-face meetings, the red-blue team has a colossal advantage of seven consecutive victories. In our opinion, it will not be difficult for the home team to cope with the children's defense, which makes grave mistakes and has conceded eight goals in the last four matches in all tournaments.
Betting Tip – Asian handicap (-1.5) on PSG with a coefficient of 1.97
It's going to be hot on the Parc des Princes course in Paris. The Parisians play great offensively and have scored 16 goals in the last five games in all competitions, but at the same time they have conceded. PSG shows bold and open football and has hit the Lyon goal in the past seven games. Most of the opponents' face-to-face meetings are productive with goals from both clubs. Such a bet has been made in the last five matches of Henrique's wards, which we will bet on today.
The betting tip is that both will score with a coefficient of 1.60
Betting on corners
PSG will play from a position of strength and will probably spend a lot of time at the opponent's goal, but Lyon will try to respond. In the last three games of the French championship out of five, Henrique's team won on corner kicks in at least three corners, which we expect from Parisians today.
Prediction – PSG win on corners with a handicap (-3.5) with a coefficient of 1.61
