Football Results

On Sunday evening we have a great derby in the French Ligue 1. In its 22nd round third-placed Lyon meets leading PSG, which currently has 11 points more. Both teams are in great shape, which guarantees an excellent football show. We need to add that the Parisians won their previous three head-to-head.

Olympique Lyon

True, those were mostly uncertain matches till the very end. Lyon lost away 2-0 last autumn exclusively due to its mistakes as its stoppers Marcelo and Morel scored two own goals in last 15 minutes of the match. This home match with the Parisians comes for coach Genesio players after six-game unbeaten streak in the league of even five wins and one draw, while in the same period Lyon went further in the French Cup after it eliminated Nancy.

On the other hand, Lyon was eliminated from the League Cup by Montpellier, and we definitely need to add that in less than one month ago they will face Spanish Villarreal in the 1st round of the Europa League round of 32. We need to say once again that Lyon before facing leading PSG occupies the third place in the table and has two points fewer than Marseille, which on the other hand played one match more, while the Parisians have 11 points more. Regarding problems with injuries, only not fully ready defender Marcalo is questionable for this match.

Probable lineups Olympique Lyon: Lopes – Rafael, Marcelo, Morel, Mendy – N'Dombele, Tousart – Cornet, Fekir, Aouar – Diaz

Paris Saint-Germain

Derby match with their great rival Lyon comes for the guests from Paris after the latest eight-game winning streak, where five matches were won in the league and three in French cups, meaning PSG is in race for winning all three French titles. Of course, PSG has the greatest chance to win a title right in the league as after 21 rounds it has even nine points more than Marseille, which played one match more than they, while third-placed Lyon currently has 11 points fewer than the Parisians.

All this tells us that coach Emery players can play without worries this match, especially as they outclassed with half power Dijon at home by even 8-0 in previous league round. Many agree that PSG still need to work on team play, and especially when it comes to great forwards Cavani and Neymar. This led to rumours that one of them will soon depart while Lucas and Ben Arfa are on their way out from the club. Let’s add that due to injuries still out of action are midfielders Motta and Pastore.

Probable lineups PSG: Areola – Alves, Marquinhos, Thiago Silva, Kurzawa – Verratti, Lo Celso, Rabiot – Mbappe, Cavani, Neymar

Verdict:

We have said that Lyon, despite losing three consecutive times to PSG, was mostly equal opponent in those matches, so now we expect to put up a fierce resistance to currently leading team of the Ligue 1.
