Lyon v Paris Saint-Germain: Prediction, Tips and Odds

Paris Saint-Germain will be looking to cement their position at the Ligue 1 summit when they make the trip to the Groupama Stadium to face Lyon on Sunday evening.

Les Parisiens have built up a 10-point lead at the top of the standings and it would take a huge collapse for the reigning champions to give up that position come the end of the campaign.

As for Lyon, they find themselves in sixth place, five points behind third-placed Lille, who hold the final automatic UEFA Champions League spot.

Lyon v Paris Saint-Germain betting tips and predictions

Paris Saint-Germain to win and both teams to score - 13/8

Lyon made the decision to part ways with manager Pierre Sage on 27th January after a poor run of results and appointed former AC Milan boss Paulo Fonseca as his replacement.

The 51-year-old lost his first game in charge, a 3-2 defeat to Marseille, but he has managed to get his side going over the next two outings with a 4-0 victory over Reims followed by a 4-1 success against Montpellier.

It has been a much improved attacking display from Les Gones since Fonseca took the reins and there looks to be a strong chance they can get on the scoresheet against PSG.

However, it looks unlikely the hosts will be able to pick up the three points as they take on a visiting team that are on a seven-game winning streak in all competitions, most recently thrashing Brest 7-0 in the UEFA Champions League.

Luis Enrique's troops haven't lost in their last 19 assignments, the last defeat at 1-0 loss at Bayern Munich in November, while they remain unbeaten in Ligue 1 with 17 wins and five draws from their first 22 matches.

PSG are the leading scorers in the division, netting 59 times, and they have failed to score in just one of their 11 away Ligue 1 fixtures this season.

Les Parisiens have won the last four meetings against Lyon, with both teams scoring in all of those contests, and that same bet can land again on Sunday.

Ousmane Dembele anytime goalscorer - 21/20

There will be no shortage of attacking options on show at the Groupama Stadium and one player that could have a big say on proceedings is PSG forward Ousmane Dembele.

France international Dembele went on a superb scoring run from mid-December, as he netted in 10 successive games and 18 times in total during that purple patch.

It is now two matches in a row that the 27-year-old has failed to notch but he is still getting into scoring positions, evidenced by his two efforts against Brest in Europe last time out.

Lyon have struggled defensively with just one clean sheet recorded from their last five fixtures and there should be plenty of opportunities for the visitors to find the back of the net.

Dembele will be itching to get back on the goal trail against an opponent he has scored against in each of the last two meetings.

Corentin Tolisso to have over 0.5 shots on target - 6/4

While Lyon may struggle to keep things tight at the back, they have impressed at the other end of the pitch and there looks to be value in backing Corentin Tolisso to have at least one shot on target.

The 30-year-old Frenchman has scored in each of his last four appearances, taking his tally for the season to six in all competitions, and the 5/1 available on him in the anytime scorer market does appeal.

However, the safer play may be to back the midfielder to test the keeper at least once, something he has done in six of his last seven outings.

Tolisso did score the last time these two sides met at the Groupama Stadium in the league, a contest PSG won 4-1, and he could be a big danger again.
