Champions PSG to continue rampant run in Lyon Ligue 1 liaison

After such a supreme start to the defence of their French title, PSG have already climbed an incredible 15 points ahead of surprising second-placed Angers, potentially leaving a fourth consecutive Ligue 1 crown a formality at such an early stage.

Although, Lyon will look to inflict a maiden season defeat on the dominant champions, after Hubert Fournier’s Les Gones halted a seriously poor run of form to give Gary Neville a disappointing 2-0 loss in his first game in charge of Valencia in midweek.

The visitors are 7/1 to cause a huge upset in Paris, as they look to edge closer to a European spot, after reaching their current position of fifth in the standings.

Fournier facing further pressure

Recent results before the Champions League win over Valencia have piled pressure on Lyon boss Fournier, but he is remaining positive.

“We showed a different face [on Wednesday] and if we had played this way in some previous games we probably would have fought to be in this competition for longer,” stated Fournier.

“That’s life. Elite football is not forgiving. However, this game gives us hope, and shows us the path we must take in the league, which is our bread and butter. We have a difficult match in Paris on Sunday night.”

Zlatan Ibrahimovic netted the equaliser in a 1-1 in this fixture last term and the Sweden sharpshooter is 13/5 to bag the game’s last goal this time around, while fellow in-form forward Edinson Cavani is evens to add to his previous Super Cup strike against Lyon anytime.

Last season’s Ligue 1 player of the year Alexandre Lacazette is a major concern for the visitors after hurting himself while scoring his side’s second goal against Los Che, but is 23/10 to strike in a potential outing.
