PSG vs Lyon: Can PSG Continue Their Winning Run?
On Monday, October 26, PSG will host Lyon in an eighth-round Ligue 1 match. The game kicks off at 20:30 CET, and I have a betting tip for this fixture.
PSG vs Lyon: Match Preview
PSG have hit their stride and are showing excellent form. However, their start to the season was less convincing and somewhat inconsistent. The team lost the French Super Cup, then recorded two draws in Ligue 1 and suffered a league defeat to Monaco. Since then, though, PSG have won every match, putting together a run of eight consecutive victories. They have won six times in Ligue 1 and twice in the UEFA Champions League. In the French league, the team have collected 14 points from seven rounds and currently sit second in the table. As many as five teams have the same number of points, so the title race is set to be fiercely contested.
Lyon are also among the leading teams in the French league. They have the same 14 points after seven rounds. In their last four matches, the team have recorded two wins and two defeats, with one loss coming in the Europa League and the other in Ligue 1. Their start to the season has been fairly promising, despite Lyon failing to qualify for the UEFA Champions League after losing in the qualifying rounds. Last season, the team finished fourth, and they will certainly be looking to improve on that result and secure direct qualification for the Champions League.
