Two Of Ligue 1’s Heavyweights Will Meet On Sunday Night At The Stade De Gerland As Lyon Host Paris Saint-Germain In A Top-Three Clash.
Lyon went to the Parc des Princes in December and won the match 1-0. Tino Kadewere’s 35th minute goal was enough for Lyon to win as they put on a solid defensive performance. Despite losing their last meeting, Paris Saint-Germain have been excellent versus Lyon over the course of their last 10 matches. They are unbeaten in seven of the last 10 meetings with Lyon and six of those finished in wins.
Paris Saint-Germain played in the Coupe de France in midweek against Lille and claimed a 3-0 win. Kylian Mbappe came off the bench to score twice. Mauricio Pochettino was without Neymar for the fixture as the Brazilian once again sat out a match. There is no definitive decision on whether or not Neymar will play on Sunday versus Lyon.
Depay has 14 goals and nine assists in 29 Ligue 1 matches. His form has him linked with a move to Barcelona in the offseason. Depay is out of country at the end of the campaign and could be a part of Ronald Koeman’s Barca re-build.
Lyon have allowed the third-fewest goals in Ligue (26). Paris Saint-Germain have conceded (19), the second-lowest total. These are also the two highest scoring teams (PSG with 63 goals, Lyon have 57). Sunday’s game will have direct implications on the title race.
PREDICTION: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE.
