Paris Saint Germain will be out to keep their perfect start to Ligue 1 when they play host to Lyon in the French top flight. They have 15 points from five matches, and hope to extend their dominance over Lyon, who have eight points, in seventh place. Ahead of this game, PSG were held to a 1-1 draw by Club Brugge in the Champions League. They are back to their territory and being the leading scorers, they will be firm favorites here. PSG have scored 16 goals in five league matches after scoring at least two in each of the matches. Kylian Mbappe alone has four goals in the last three league matches and the return of Neymar, Di Maria and Lionel Messi will boost their potency in attack. In the last five meetings between these two sides, Mbappe has scored six goals.

Lyon are also in good firm going to this game after recovering from a slow start. They’ve won each of the last three matches, the most recent away to Rangers in the Europa League. Lyon have scored two or more goals in three of their last four matches and they seem to have the rhythm now. In their opening three matches of the season they were winless, but in the last three, they’ve won all. In their last six league matches however, they have two wins and three of their last four have produced over 2.5 goals. In their opening five league matches, the visitors have conceded eight goals and scored as many. Last season they were among the best performing sides away from home, and they’ve carried the same to this season. Lyon have one loss in 19 away matches in Ligue 1. Matches against PSG haven’t been very rosy for Lyon; they have four losses in six.
