PSG vs Lyon

Fresh from reaching the UEFA Champions League semi-finals, PSG will turn their attention to the French Ligue 1 title push as they host Lyon on Sunday.

The Parisians appear to be building momentum at the right time and also boast a solid record in this fixture. They should get the better of the visitors, who have been unconvincing lately.

PSG News

PSG are having another solid end to the season and reached the Champions League semi-finals on Tuesday after claiming a 4-0 aggregate victory over Liverpool. Luis Enrique’s team did the double over the Reds, with both matches ending in 2-0 victories.

Both results are part of a six-match winning run across all competitions for PSG, who claimed a 3-1 victory over Toulouse last time out in Ligue 1 and are four points clear at the top. They have also won their last three home matches, scoring the first half's opening goal in all three fixtures.

Goals are not a problem for PSG, who have scored in their last 10 matches across all competitions. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in four of their last five home matches, with all four fixtures producing over 2.5 goals.

Lyon News

The task for Lyon in the final weeks of the season is to secure a top-four finish, sitting fifth in the table, one point off the pace. They claimed a 2-0 home victory over Lorient in their previous Ligue 1 fixture.

Manager Habib Beye will be looking to build on that result, as Lyon had been winless in their previous nine matches across all competitions. They are also winless in their last four Ligue 1 away matches.

Poor defending has been one of the problems for Lyon, who are without a clean sheet in seven of their last 10 home matches across all competitions. However, they have scored in seven of those fixtures, while four of their last seven Ligue 1 away matches have produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

PSG have 13 wins while Lyon have three victories, with two draws in the last 18 matches. The Parisians are unbeaten in the last six meetings and claimed a 3-2 away victory in the reverse fixture back in November.

Verdict

PSG v Lyon

PSG are in high spirits from their Champions League progress and will be keen to put this game to bed early. Having scored the first half's opening goal in their last three home matches, a similar pattern could be expected here.

The Parisians have earned a win and over 2.5 goals in their last six matches against Lyon and could be set for a repeat. Both teams have scored in their last six meetings, and that trend is likely to continue here.
