Lyon vs PSG prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - November 3, 2024
OL Lyonnes
Paris Saint Germain
In the highly anticipated sixth-round clash of the French women’s championship, Lyon will face off against PSG. Here’s a breakdown and prediction for this top-tier match.
Lyon
Lyon is a powerhouse in European women’s football, holding the record for most UEFA Champions League titles, with an impressive eight trophies. In the latest Champions League campaign, they reached the final but fell short, losing 0-2 to Barcelona.
Lyon started this season strongly, winning their first four matches by at least a three-goal margin. However, they stumbled slightly in their last outing, drawing 0-0 away against PSG. This slip dropped them to second place in the league, two points behind their upcoming opponents. Lyon’s Champions League run is looking solid, though—they've won both matches so far, securing a shared lead in their group.
PSG
PSG’s league performance has been flawless, and their consistency has earned them the top spot. In the last round, they narrowly edged out Fleury 91 with a 2-1 home victory.
Their Champions League season, however, has been disappointing. PSG was eliminated in the qualifying rounds, losing to Juventus 1-3 away and 1-2 at home. This was a harsh blow, particularly since they reached the semifinals last season, where Lyon was their ultimate undoing.
Probable Lineups
- Lyon: Endler, Svava, Renard, Gilles, Carpenter, Egurrola, van de Donk, Le Sommer, Horan, Diani, Dumornay.
- PSG: Earps, Le Guilly, De Almeida, Dudek, Elimbi, Albert, Groenen, Geyoro, Karchaoui, Leuchter, Traore.
Match Facts
- Lyon has been dominant at home this season, winning all three matches across competitions with a combined score of 15-0.
- PSG has won both of their away matches in the league.
- Bookmakers’ odds for this matchup: Lyon win – 1.35, Draw – 4.55, PSG win – 7.4.
Head-to-Head
Last season alone, these teams met six times. Lyon came out on top in five of those matches, with the other ending in a draw.
Prediction
Lyon enters this matchup as clear favorites, which makes sense given their quality of play and dominant history in head-to-heads. Expect Lyon to seek control, but PSG poses a genuine threat. I suggest betting on a Lyon victory with a -1 goal handicap, as they’re likely to assert themselves and secure a strong result.
