Prediction published on 31/03/2023, 12:35  by Devesh Jaganath in Ligue 1 Predictions

Ligue 1 action returns this weekend, and for our featured match, we head to Parc des Princes, where PSG will resume their league title defence when they take on Olympique Lyonnais, who are trying to finish the season positively. The hosts are in pole position in Ligue 1, with 66 points after 28 matches, seven points clear of Marseille in second. PSG suffered an unexpected defeat in their last match against Rennes, which brought a 30+ match undefeated home record to an end for the side from Paris. Over their last six matches, PSG has won four and lost two, while their home record now includes 11 wins, two draws, and one loss in 14 matches. PSG won the reverse fixture 1-0 and is unbeaten in their last four matches against this opponent. The Parisians will have no intention of dropping further points at home in this one. 

Olympique Lyonnais had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ended 1-1 against Nantes. The visitors are now in 10th place in the league with 41 points in 28 matches, nine points behind Rennes in fifth. Over their last six matches, Lyon has won two, drawn three, and lost one, though they are unbeaten in their last five matches in all competitions with two wins and three draws. Lyon’s away record has been average at best this season, with five wins, three draws, and six losses in 14 matches on the road. The visitors have been outscored 8-4 in their winless run against this opponent and are likely to find it difficult against a PSG side whose entire focus will be on the league title after bowing out of the Champions League before the break.
