Lyon vs PSG Prediction & Betting Tips - Ligue 1
by Joseph King | in Ligue 1 Predictions
17th-place Lyon and eighth-place PSG wrap up matchday four in Ligue 1 with this Sunday night fixture. Both teams will want to head into the international break with a win, especially considering that they've each started the 2023/24 relatively slowly. It hasn't been the ideal start to the Luis Enrique era at PSG but Mbappe's return should provide a much-needed shot in the arm. The team was previously lacking in cutting edge up top but with Mbappe, the team has a legitimate 30 league goals a season threat on the field. The mercurial Frenchman dragged his team to a 3-1 win over RC Lens in their most recent fixture with a brace. Mbappe has already netted three times total after scoring his first goal of the campaign as a substitute two weeks ago. The aforementioned result was the first win of the season for Les Rouge et Bleu, who were held to draws in their first two league encounters.
Lyon have stumbled out of the gates in the 2023/24 season. They lost their first two matches for the first time in over 60 years and drew 0-0 away from home against Nice last weekend. Les Goneswere extremely fortunate to walk away with a point in that encounter as they offered next to nothing going forward. Lyon created a meager 0.20 expected goals (xG) while Nice racked up 1.95 xG and created two clear cut scoring chances. It's a concerning trend for Laurent Blanc's men who have looked abysmal attacking in the last two weeks. Prior to the draw with Nice, Lyon managed an xG total of only 0.36 at home against Montpellier. They were utterly destroyed in that match, falling to a 4-1 defeat at the Groupama Stadium. When factoring in an ugly preseason, the seven-time Ligue 1 winners have now lost six and drawn once in their last seven matches.Limited Offer. Currently at DraftKings

Our Lyon vs PSG Prediction
If Lyon don't improve soon there will be serious questions posed as to whether or not a change of manager is needed. Laurent Blanc even hinted at the possibility himself in his post match press conference following the loss to Montpellier. Unfortunately for the four-time French champion, a match against his former team is not the ideal way to end their poor run of form. Lyon have offered very little going forward which means this match should stay under the total, barring an offensive explosion from the visitors. Our Lyon vs PSG prediction is for under 3.5 goals.
