Lyon-PSG betting preview
Paris Saint-Germain almost have one hand on the French Ligue 1 crown. They have a good 13-point lead over the nearest title contender Monaco. With six matches remaining in the league, the team needs to win just two more matches to retain the title.
However, after their exit from the UEFA Champions League, they will take nothing for granted. After the emphatic win in the first leg against Chelsea, they had been the favourites to reach the semi final. But they froze in the second leg and lost a golden opportunity to push for European glory. Lyon will look forward to add the woes of the Parisian giant.
One big blow for PSG is the injury-forced absence of their talisman Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The Lyon defenders and the goalkeeper will have a much easier job on this Sunday.
PSG have been in sensational form in the Ligue One. The team has been undefeated for almost six months. They have fared well against Lyon in recent times too. They defeated Lyon five times in the last seven meetings.
Lyon too have been ousted from a European competition. But their defeat at the hand of Juventus at the Europa League was more or less expected. The team is in search of points to strengthen their bid for a continental berth next season.
Lyon’s hopes for upset will hinge on the performance of their two forwards, Alexandre Lacazette and Bafetimbi Gomis. When they get going, they score dream goals.
No team can find solution for Ibrahimovic’s absence. But PSG have in their ranks Edinson Cavani and Ezequiel Lavezzi, two of the best strikers in the French league. And they have midfielders Thiago Motta and Lucas Moura for company.
