PSG vs Lyon Preview
- Tournament: Ligue 1
- Date: Sunday, December 15
- Kick-off Time: 07:45 PM GMT
- Venue: Parc des Princes, Paris.
Defending Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint Germain are set to lock horns with an in-form Olympique Lyonnais up next in the French top division. This is the 15th league game for the sides concerned, and both sides have enjoyed some good form over the past five league games before having this meeting.
Paris Saint Germain aka PSG are having a similar scenario in Ligue 1, that is they are comfortably leading in the points table. They have been invincible so far, in fact, they are the only unbeaten side in the league currently. The side has 10 wins, and four draws. However, they have drawn their last two games, and hence coach Luis Enrique will be desperate to see his team get back to winning ways.
Olympique Lyonnais are also having a great season. They are placed fifth in the league, having just one point less than Lille and four points less than second and third-placed Marseille and Monaco respectively. A win here would let them strengthen their chances of a way up the table, however, a draw would also sound fine seeing PSG’s invincible nature.

Key Players to Watch in PSG vs Lyon
João Neves (Paris Saint Germain)
The young defensive midfielder has been doing wonders ever since his arrival from Benfica this summer. He was signed in for a hefty fee, and he is worth every penny, at least his performance is stating that. In 13 league matches, he has six assists and also a couple of goals. In the UEFA Champions League too he has been good with his marking and off-the-ball moves.
He needs to abide with both defensive and attacking roles in the game against Lyon. The opponent is well-versed in both zones. However, if Neves, with Ruiz, Vitinha manage the midfield, the game will be half-won already by PSG. Neves should also look for some goals here.
Nicolás Tagliafico (Olympique Lyonnais)
The star Argentine left-back is having a good time here this season if injuries are to be spared. He has still got good pace, and quality skills, especially the perfect tackles to help his team defensively. He is even a pro when it comes to goal-scoring or chance creation. This season he doesn’t have any assists yet, however, he has two good goals, one against FC Nantes and the other in the last outing against Angers.
This could be the chance for the veteran defender to show the world that he is not finished yet, with a stellar performance against giants PSG.
PSG vs Lyon Prediction
Paris Saint Germain are expected to win this game with ease. The hosts have a better squad, good form, and solid home support in their favour. Olympique Lyonnais also have a good squad and bright form, but standing tall against giants PSG, that too at their own home, seems a job too tough. However, we can expect some good goals tomorrow.
