Prediction: 4-2
Lyon
Paris Saint-Germain will be aiming to cement top position in the standings when they take on Olympique Lyon in the Ligue 1 derby on Sunday evening. Leo Messi was rested in a 4-0 win over Clermont, but the Argentina superstar is widely expected to start against les Gones. Not only Messi returns to the squad, but Mauro Pochettino will count on Paredes, Neymar, and Di Maria for the Ligue 1 derby as well. All Verratti, Kurzawa, Dagba, Bernat, and Sergio Ramos are likely to miss the game with injuries.
Les Gones, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-1 win over Strasbourg. Considering that Lyon have been impressive in front of goal of late, we are tempted to put our money on over 3.5 goals. Both Tino Kadewere and Leo Dubois are out of contention through injuries for the visiting team. Defender Da Silva, though, is back from suspension.
