Lionel Messi’s PSG wants to continue with their overwhelming pace in Ligue 1, this time facing a tough rival as Olympique Lyon, in a match corresponding to the 6th round of French football.
The Parisians have won all five of their Ligue 1 games to date, leaving them a comfortable 15 points clear of Angers, who trail them on 11 points. At the moment, Jorge Sampaoli’s Marseille appears to be their biggest threat with 10 points but one game in hand, which could bring them within touching distance of Messi and Co. Lyon, meanwhile, is in 7th place in the French league with 8 points. Although they haven’t won in the first three games, they are coming off two very important victories, so they are full of confidence to prevent Messi‘s first goal in Ligue 1.

How Lyon is coming into the Ligue 1 clash:
The visitors, meanwhile, need to continue the good trend they have been building for the past two weeks, when Les Gones recorded back-to-back wins over Nantes and Racing Strasbourg, 1-0 and 3-1 respectively. The Dutchman Peter Bosz is the coach of the team that occupies seventh place with eight points, knowing that they are seven behind their opponents.
Prediction for the matchday in Ligue 1 between PSG and Lyon:
We are facing a match that brings together two powerful teams in French football. After the draw in the Champions League, PSG will do everything possible to continue with full points in Ligue 1. They will face a Lyon team that seems to have taken a step forward and that, after three wins in a row, has surely gained in confidence. We expect an entertaining clash for the spectators.
PSG has a dream team and seeing their great performance in Ligue 1 we believe they will have no serious problems in taking the three points. As they face a Lyon side that also has quality, our football bet for this match is on the PSG win market and over 2.5 goals.
