Olympique Lyonnais - Paris Saint Germain predictions

It’s hard to see even the most ardent of Olympique Lyonnais fans expect a victory here. As clear underdogs, even a draw against Paris Saint Germain would be quite impressive, let alone an upset in the form of a home win.

If everything goes according to plan and Paris Saint Germain put their best foot forward we expect to see an away win in this match.

Olympique Lyonnais’s previous away game against Brest saw a lot of back-and-forth to little avail. Neither side managed to pull ahead throughout the match and ultimately settled for a 0:0 draw.

The visitors are coming off from a slightly underwhelming result in the previous round of the Ligue 1. They did beat Nice, but struggled to get their foot in front during the first half and ended up grabbing three points thanks to a slim, one-goal margin (1:0).

Olympique Lyonnais can’t seem to maintain a proper defence whenever they play as visitors. With 6 concessions over the past three away games, it’s obvious some tweaks need to be made in defence.

The visitors will likely miss the support of having a home-field advantage. Their latest 3 home games were marked by more than 5 goals in total and it remains to be seen what they can do to extend the positive trend away from home as well.

Although Olympique Lyonnais are seen as the underdogs in this matchup, they’ve had some great results so far. They’re just 4 points below the current table leaders.

Backing Paris Saint Germain to run away with another three points after their Sunday clash with Olympique Lyonnais would be a wise call. Top bookmakers online have them at 1.85 and that’s an offer worth considering.

The visiting team proved their dominance over Paris Saint Germain last season when they secured a convincing victory with a comfortable lead. Some things have changed since then, of course, but it’s obvious they’re more likely to come out on top again.

With no injuries reported on either side of the pitch, both coaches have their full rosters at their disposal. As such, the odds remain firmly in the visitors’ favour.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.68 odds offered at Pncl.
