The Matchday 12 clash in Ligue 1 between Lyon and PSG will take place on November 9 at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais. Lyon vs. PSG: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Lyon
Jorge Maciel's side has slipped to 6th place after drawing their last two matches. First, they shared the spoils with PSG (3-3), and then played a goalless draw against Brest. Notably, in their last five Ligue 1 outings, Lyon has secured just one victory (2 draws and 2 losses).
- Both teams scored in 4 of Lyon's last 5 league games.
- At least 3 goals were scored in 4 of Lyon's last 5 Ligue 1 matches.
- Lyon has won 9 of their last 11 home league games.
Predicted lineup for Lyon (3-5-2)
Dominik Greif – Moussa Niakate, Nicolas Tagliafico, Clinton Mata – Tyler Morton, Hans Hateboer, Corentin Tolisso, Pavel Schulz, Tanner Tessmann – Afonso Moreira, Martin Satriano.
Midfielder Hans Hateboer is suspended for this game, while defender Abner is serving a two-match ban.
PSG
The capital club continues to lead the French league table. However, their lead is not unchallenged, as they are just two points ahead of two pursuers. PSG is unbeaten in six consecutive Ligue 1 matches, winning three and drawing three.
- In their last 13 league encounters, PSG has lost only once (9 wins and 3 draws).
- No more than three goals were scored in 7 of PSG's last 8 Ligue 1 games.
- The team conceded in 10 of their last 12 away league games.
Predicted lineup for PSG (4-3-3)
Lucas Chevalier – Ilya Zabarnyi, William Pacho, Achraf Hakimi, Nuno Mendes – Warren Zaire-Emery, Senny Meyulu, Vitinha – Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Senny Meyulu, Ibrahima Mbaye.
Out due to injuries: midfielders Fabian Ruiz, forwards Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue, as well as defenders Nuno Mendes and Achraf Hakimi. Forward Bradley Barcola is doubtful for the match.

Lyon vs. PSG: Match Prediction
The teams are separated by five positions in the league table, but the gap between the capital club and Lyon is just 4 points. Moreover, PSG has been prone to slip-ups even in the league. In their last four Ligue 1 away matches, PSG managed to beat only the struggling Brest (2 draws and 1 loss). Additionally, Luis Enrique's side will be coming off a tough Champions League match where they lost to Bayern.
I anticipate that the hosts will avoid defeat in this crucial encounter. In their last 19 home league matches, Lyon has suffered only 3 losses, securing 14 wins and 2 draws. Furthermore, the team has been impressive in front of goal at home and rarely leaves the pitch without scoring.
My prediction – "Lyon to win or draw"
* The starting lineup for each team is based on their last match in this tournament.
