Lyon have never picked up fewer points at this stage of a top-flight season in the 21st century.
PSG lost just one of their last 18 away league games.
Six of the last seven H2Hs held in Lyon produced over 2.5 total goals.
Lacklustre Lyon must show more

It has been a disappointing season so far for Olympique Lyon, who have picked up just 24 points so far this season (including a -1 point deduction); which is equal to their return at this stage in 2013/14 when eventually finishing 5th, suggesting there is hope yet for the seven-time French champions.

Here, Lyon come up against a side with almost twice as many points as them in the form of runaway league leaders, PSG, an opponent which strikes fear into the heart of all sides in this division. However, no visiting side have stopped Lyon from scoring this term, while only one left with victory.

PSG are simply a cut above

Despite being hit by a host of absences due to the AFCON, injuries and illness, PSG should have the talismanic attacking pair of Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe available for this clash.

PSG are simply in a league of their own in France, and have lost only to English Champions Manchester City since they lost their opening league game of October 2021 (W10, D5). Moreover, they are unbeaten in 18 of their 19 league game as pre-match favourites this term, which is unsurprisingly all of them.

All in all, I predict that combined effect of Lyon’s imperious home form and PSG absences should give the hosts enough room to grab a goal or two here, but PSG should ultimately come on top in an entertaining French classic.



译文(自动翻译仅供参考):

在21世纪的顶级联赛中，里昂从未在这个阶段获得如此少的积分。
圣日耳曼在最近18场客场比赛中只输了一场。
在过去的7场h2h比赛中，有6场的总进球超过2.5个。
毫无生气的里昂必须展示更多

到目前为止，里昂是一个令人失望的赛季，他们本赛季到目前为止只拿了24分(包括被扣1分);这相当于他们在2013 - 14赛季这个阶段的回归，最终获得了第五名，这意味着七次法甲冠军仍有希望。

在这里，里昂遇到了一支得分几乎是他们两倍的球队，这支球队在联赛中遥遥领先，圣日耳曼，这是一个让这个级别的所有球队都感到恐惧的对手。然而，客队并没有阻止里昂在这个赛季进球，只有一支球队取得了胜利。

PSG只是略高于此

尽管由于AFCON、伤病等原因，巴黎圣日耳曼已经缺席了很多场比赛，但梅西和姆巴佩应该可以在这场比赛中上场。

巴黎圣日耳曼在法国联赛中独领风骚，自2021年10月在联赛首场比赛(W10, D5)中失利以来，他们只输给过英格兰冠军曼城队。此外，作为本赛季赛前的热门球队，他们在19场联赛中有18场保持不败，这并不令人意外。

总而言之，我预测里昂在主场的强势表现和巴黎圣日耳曼的缺席将会给主队留下足够的空间在这里取得一两个进球，但巴黎圣日耳曼最终会在一场有趣的法国经典比赛中胜出。
