On Sunday, starting with 20:00, the match Paris Saint-Germain – Lyon will be played, within the 14th round of Ligue 1. Paris Saint-Germain has won in the last 4 direct matches of all competitions, the last time in the final French League Cup, in the tiebreaker.
After the scandal of the moment in European football, Paris Saint-Germain returns to Ligue 1 for a derby with Lyon. Mbappe, Neymar & co. they shattered Basaksehir at the restart, score 5-1 and won the group that also included Leipzig and Manchester United, ticking the qualification in the eighth round of the Champions League. The Parisians also lead the hierarchy in Ligue 1, having 28 points after the first 13 rounds, two more than the next ranked, Lille.
Lyon looks better and better with Rudi Garcia and is undefeated in the last 10 stages of Ligue 1, accumulating 26 points, just like the second ranked Lille, but a lower goal average. If Lille is at +15, Lyon is satisfied with +13, but a very difficult duel will follow on “Parc des Princes”. OL has won only twice in the last 13 years in Paris, only one of the disputes being scheduled in Ligue 1. In the away matches in 2020/2021, Garcia’s students have 3 wins, 3 draws and one defeat, 1-2 in Montpellier , another former French champion.
Although it had good evolutions against the Parisians, Lyon does not manage to obtain great results in trips, where the group of Thomas Tuchel remains extremely difficult to defeat.
