PSG are aiming for another Ligue 1 victory, which would be a giant step toward defending the title and would allow them to focus on UCL clashes against Bayern Munich. Lyon have been allowing too much space lately, so I am backing the Parisians to collect three points.

Saints Lead Head-to-Head
These two sides clashed 112 times so far, PSG holding a 52-34 advantage in terms of victories, 26 matches ending without a winner.
PSG’s Spirits are High
PSG are coming off an inspiring 2-0 victory against Liverpool in the UCL quarterfinal (4-0 on aggregate), Ousmane Dembele netting a brace at Anfield. The Saints will face Bayern Munich in the next stage later this month.
Speaking of their Ligue 1 campaign, Luis Enrique’s side is leading the title race with a four-point advantage over 2nd placed Lens (also played one game less) with just seven rounds left to be played.
In their most recent contest, PSG outplayed Toulouse 3-1 in front of the home crowd in early April. Dembele recorded another brace here, while they allowed just one shot on target to the opposition.
Lyon Struggling Defensively in April
Lyon are solely focused on grabbing a spot in the UEFA Champions League next season, and currently they are one position and one point short of 4th position in Ligue 1.
Their recent form has been quite inconsistent. After wrapping up the previous month with a 2-1 home defeat to Monaco (allowed 3.30 xG and 21 shots), Paulo Fonseca’s side couldn’t find the net against mid-table Angers in a goalless draw (fired just two shots on target).
Les Gones finally returned to winning ways last weekend with a 2-0 home win against Lorient, Roman Yaremchuk and Corentin Tolisso finding the net early in second half. Visitors missed three clear goal opportunities to score here.
Team News & Predicted Lineups
PSG (4-3-3) Matvey Safonov; Achraf Hakimi, Ilya Zabarnyi, Lucas Beraldo, Lucas Hernandez; Warren Zaire Emery, Vitinha, Dro Fernandez; Bradley Barcola, Ousmane Dembele, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia
Quentin Ndjantou and Fabian Ruiz are confirmed to miss this match due to injuries, while Desire Doue and Nuno Mendes suffered knocks at Anfield, leaving them doubtful.
Lyon (4-2-3-1) Dominik Greif; Steeve Kango, Clinton Mata, Moussa Niakhate, Abner; Ainsley Maitland Niles, Tanner Tessmann; Adam Karabec, Corentin Tolisso, Afonso Moreira; Roman Yaremchuk
Ernest Nuamah continues recovery from a ligament injury, while Malick Fofana is out with an ankle problem. Pavel Sulc is likely to start on bench due to back pain, while Nicolas Tagliafico is suspended.
Verdict
PSG are flying after beating Liverpool at Anfield, which was their fifth straight victory across competitions. I will back them to beat inconsistent Lyon on Sunday but not with a clean sheet.
