Lyon will invite Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to Parc Olympique Lyonnais in Ligue 1 on Sunday. The hosts have six wins from 11 games and trail the capital club by four points.
Les Gones are unbeaten in their last three games, playing two consecutive stalemates. They were held to a goalless draw by Brest in their previous league outing. Their winless run continued in the UEFA Europa League against Real Betis on Thursday as they suffered a 2-0 away loss.
The visitors extended their unbeaten streak in the league to six games with a 1-0 home triumph over Nice last week. Gonçalo Ramos scored the match-winner in stoppage time. They suffered their first loss since September on Tuesday, falling to a 2-1 home defeat to Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League.

Lyon vs PSG Prediction
Les Gones have seen a drop in form, and they are winless in their last three games across all competitions, failing to score in the last two. Notably, six of their nine wins across all competitions this season have been registered at home. They are winless at home in this fixture since 2019.
Orel Mangala, Malick Fofana, and Ernest Nuamah are sidelined with injuries, while Hans Hateboer and Abner Vinicius will serve suspensions here.
Les Parisiens have scored one goal apiece in their last three games and will look to improve upon that record. They have scored 16 goals in their last five meetings against the hosts and are strong favorites.
Ousmane Dembélé is a major doubt for Luis Enrique in this crucial match. Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes will also sit this one out.
The capital club have been the better side in recent games in this fixture, and considering their goalscoring record this season, we back them to register a win.
