Ligue 1: Lyon vs PSG live stream

Preview

Lyon and Paris Saint-Germain will meet at the Groupama Stadium on Sunday night in a Ligue 1 encounter. Both teams have experienced underwhelming starts to the season, with Lyon currently in the relegation zone and PSG securing only their first win last weekend. Kickoff is at 6:45 pm GMT.

Lyon’s start to the Ligue 1 season has been nothing short of disastrous, marked by several unwanted club records. They suffered two consecutive defeats for the first time since the 1960s, including an embarrassing 4-1 loss to Montpellier that led to a bizarre post-match press conference where manager Laurent Blanc suggested he should be sacked. Despite a draw against Nice last weekend, Lyon have their lowest points tally at this stage of a season in 31 years. Blanc’s future may be in jeopardy if they lose to PSG, who they haven’t beaten in their last five home encounters.

PSG, under the guidance of Luis Enrique, have had a sluggish start to their season with two draws. However, the influence of Kylian Mbappe, who scored two goals in their last game, helped them secure their first win against Lens. Another win for PSG is expected, despite the significance of the match between two of France’s historically successful clubs. Mbappe’s form suggests he will continue to shine in Ligue 1.PSG will look to capitalise on new players and new management as they pursue domestic and continental success this season.

Head-to-Head

PSG has had the upper hand in recent Ligue 1 clashes with Lyon, winning three out of their last four encounters, with Lyon managing only one draw. Additionally, Lyon has been unsuccessful in their previous four attempts to defeat PSG at home in the league.

Prediction

PSG’s strong recent form on the road in Ligue 1, coupled with Lyon’s current struggles, positions PSG as clear favourites. Although the match may be closely contested, PSG’s superior quality in both their starting lineup and bench should make the difference.
