Prediction: 3-2
Lyon
Sparkles will be flying when PSG and Olympique Lyon take on each other in the Ligue 1 derby on Sunday evening. Les Parisiens are brimming with confidence following a thrilling Champions League win over Barcelona and they are seen as hot favourites to beat les Gones at home as well. Both Lucas Hernandez and Manuel Ugarte are banned for the match, while the likes of Layvin Kurzawa, Sergio Rico, and Presnel Kimpembe remain in the recovery room.
Les Gones, on the other hand, have been scoring goals for fun of late and given their attacking potential, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. In the first half of the season PSG outplayed Lyon 4-1 and yet another high-scoring affair is on the horizon. Former left-back Nicolas Tagliafico misses out through suspension, but there are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Kylian Mbappé):
Kylian Mbappe is a French footballer who plays for Paris Saint-Germain as a forward. The French rising star began his youth career at AS Bondy and in 2013 he moved to AS Monaco. After making 12 appearances for Monaco B, Kylian Mbappe made his debut for the senior team in 2015. Mbappe quickly established himself as a regular goalscorer, with the teenager finding the net 15 times in 29 appearances in the Ligue 1 in the 2016/2017 season.
In 2017 he moved to fellow French club PSG on loan, with the option of making the deal permanent. Kylian Mbappe scored 13 goals in 27 appearances for les Parisiens in the 2017/2018 and it has to be noted that Unai Emery’s troops eventually won the national championship.
Speaking of his international career, Mbappe played an important role for France at the 2018 FIFA World Cup finals, with the pacey rising star scoring a brace in a thrilling 4-3 win over Argentina in the last 16 of the showpiece tournament. The PSG attacker was born in Paris on December 20, 1998.
Highlighted Team (Lyon):
Commonly referred to as Lyon, Olympique Lyonnais is the French club which play their games at the Parc Olimpique Lyonnais with a capacity just a pinch short of 60,000. Lyon is one of the most popular clubs in France with a vast fan base on par with Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique de Marseille.
The club achieved moderate success during the 1960s and 1970s led by the likes of Bernard Lacombe and Jean Djorkaeff, while the golden era of the French side came at the start of the new millennium when Lyon began to achieve greater success both in France and on the international level.
It was not until 2002 that Lyon won their first ever Ligue 1 title which sparked an ongoing national record-breaking streak of seven successive titles. During that time Lyon were regular participants of the UEFA Champions League. The French club reached quarter-finals on two occasions, while they even played in the semi-finals in the 2009-10 season.
