- Competition: Ligue 1
- Date: 9th November 2025
- Kick-off: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
- Venue: Groupama Stadium
Lyon host reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain at the Groupama Stadium on Sunday night, hoping to record a third consecutive home victory for the second time this season. Both clubs arrive after difficult European midweeks, each looking to put those setbacks behind them. Lyon suffered a 2-0 defeat to Real Betis in the Europa League, while PSG were edged 2-1 by Bayern Munich in the Champions League. Neither side has found real rhythm in recent weeks, yet the Parisians still sit two points clear at the top of Ligue 1.

Ligue 1
Lyon and PSG have met ten times since 2021 in all competitions, and the Parisians have clearly dominated that stretch with eight wins, including the last five in a row. Lyon’s only success came two years ago at the Parc des Princes, while one encounter finished level. Their meetings usually offer plenty of action, producing an average of 3.5 goals per game across those ten fixtures.
Lyon team overview
Lyon opened the 2025-26 season in outstanding form, winning five of their first six league matches and keeping five clean sheets along the way. That early spark has dimmed slightly.
Paulo Fonseca’s side have managed just one victory in their last five Ligue 1 games, while two defeats in their last three European outings have slowed their progress abroad.
Home form, however, remains their backbone. The Gones have taken six wins from seven matches at the Groupama Stadium, and turning that venue into a fortress could prove vital against the champions.
Midfielder Orel Mangala is close to recovering from a knee issue but will not feature this weekend. Ernest Nuamah and Malick Fofana stay are also dealing injuries, while Hans Hateboer is suspended after his red card against Brest.

Paris Saint-Germain team overview
PSG began the campaign at full speed, stringing together five straight victories that included league wins over Nantes, Angers, Toulouse and Lens, plus a commanding 4:0 success against Atalanta in Europe.
Since then, results have been more mixed, with five wins from their last ten games in all competitions. Their away form has also dipped, as they have failed to take maximum points in three of their last six trips.
Injuries continue to trouble Luis Enrique’s squad. Achraf Hakimi limped off in midweek against Bayern Munich and will miss this match. The Moroccan joins Nuno Mendes, Ousmane Dembélé, and Desiré Doué on the injury list.

Prediction
Both teams have questions to answer after tough European nights, but their domestic ambitions remain strong. Lyon will rely on their excellent home record and disciplined defending, while PSG’s attacking firepower could once again make the difference. With both sides eager to respond, Sunday’s clash in Lyon promises plenty of intensity and no shortage of goals. My correct score prediction is a 2-1 win for the visitors.
Three reasons we expect at least three goals in this game
- Four of the last seven games of Lyon ended with over 2.5 goals.
- Bets on over 2.5 goals won in four of the last six games of PSG.
- At least 3 goals were seen in each of the last 5 meetings between Lyon and PSG.
