Lyon welcome PSG to the Parc Olympique Lyonnais on Sunday night for a match that may well have a hugely significant impact on where the Ligue Un title ends up this season. Current leaders Lille are three points ahead of both clubs on 63 points. PSG are in second thanks to having a 13 goal lead over Lyon. It could well be a very tense match with both teams desperately needing the win to keep the pressure on Lille. Can we find some value in the markets?

Lyon vs PSG Betting Tips and Predictions

Both sides are obviously in good form being so high to the top of the table. Lyon have won three and drawn two of their last five matches in all competitions and over their last five league matches at home have won three and lost two. PSG have won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five in all competitions. Over their five most recent away Ligue Un matches they’ve won four of their last five, losing the other one.

Lyon vs PSG Betting Tips and Predictions

There’s some Blue stats there showing that there’s some value in backing a First Half or Second Half goal. We can see that both teams start very strongly out of the traps at kickoff. Lyon have scored in the first half in 64% of their home matches and PSG have scored a FH goal in 71% of their away league matches.

Four of the last five meetings between the sides here in all competitions saw at least one FH goal scored as well so you’d really expect one here again. The odds won’t start off great though so we’d suggest watching the first 15 minutes or so before deciding on parting with your stake. Of course, if it starts off flat and cage-y then you’re probably better off waiting until the second period of play.

Lyon vs PSG Betting Tips and Predictions

Hopefully we’ll see a few goals here, Lyon are averaging just over two goals per home league match while PSG are averaging 2 and we can see that both sides have scored more than 1.5 goals in around 64% of their home and away matches.

The current odds on Over 2.5 goals aren’t great but if it’s 0-0 at 20-25 minutes and the game is flowing then it might be something to consider inplay.
