PSG vs Lyon Prediction & Betting Tips (15 December)

The current period is not conducive to satisfaction for PSG in Ligue 1. The three-time reigning French champion held a comfortable lead over his runner-up but his last two meetings ended in draws against Nantes 1-1 and Auxerre 0-0, allowed its rival Marseille, 2nd, to come back to 5 points. Since then, Luis Enrique's team has reassured itself by winning at Salzburg 0-3 on Tuesday in the Champions League, a table in which it is poorly engaged. In Ligue 1, Paris is the only team still undefeated. His record is 10 victories in 14 days, for 4 points sharing. Opposite, Olympique Lyonnais hopes to return to the Champions League next season.

To do this, the Rhone residents will have to gain positions in a top 5 which they are currently completing. Lyon has not lost in the league since September 22. He remained in the exercise with easy successes against Nice 4-1 and Angers 0-3. Winners before these oppositions of Qarabag 1-4 in the Europa League, Pierre Sage's men faced Frankfurt at home on Thursday, still on the European scene and with the hope of achieving a 4th success in a row in all competitions. 

Paris can recover young midfielder Mayulu, recovered from a calf injury which forced him to be absent for three weeks. Kimpembe remains the only player in the dark among the long-term absentees which no longer include striker Ramos, scorer this week in Salzburg, and defender L. Hernandez, who returned to competition in Austria. Kimpembe, now fit, was not selected by Luis Enrique for the last matches. A new group without the French international can be set up. The Parisian offensive sector is struggling in the championship and has not been decisive in the last 3 matches of the national exercise. While Kolo Muani hardly plays any more, Barcola no longer makes any difference although he has totaled 10 goals in Ligue 1 since his sparkling start to the season and Dembélé (5 goals in the league) is not yet a reference.Lyon is moving with winger Benrahma (2 goals in all competitions), then absent in Angers, and continues to deploy without former goalkeeper Lopes.

He has been left apart from the group since the start of the exercise. It remains to be seen which elements of this expanded workforce will not be taken to the capital. Up front, replacement Orban was not called up for the trip to Angers and the reception in Frankfurt. The little influential Zaha was also left out on Thursday against the German club in the Europa League. Pierre Sage can rely in attack on center forward Lacazette, author of 8 TCC goals, and the dynamic Cherki (4 goals and 4 TCC assists), who are the Rhone spearheads. They can compose a new trio with Fofana (6 TCC goals).
