Paris FC vs Lyon prediction: FRANCE: Ligue 1 betting tips on match 2025-10-28 20:05.
[p]Paris FC will be looking to arrest a recent slump in form when they host a resurgent Lyon side targeting a third straight win across all competitions.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]The mood in Paris’ camp has turned sour in recent weeks following consecutive losses by a 2-1 scoreline, with Stéphane Gilli’s side winning only one of their last five games (D1, L3). While it’s been a largely solid start to the season, the hosts have seen all three of their wins this term come against sides currently lower than them in the table, with four failures against higher-ranked opposition (D1, L3). That doesn’t bode well ahead of Lyon’s visit, as Paris look to avoid a third straight defeat for the first time since August 2023![/p]
[p]Lyon head into this clash on a high after back-to-back wins in domestic and European competition, which leaves Les Gones sitting pretty in Ligue 1 and only two points adrift of leaders PSG. Paulo Fonseca’s side followed up a 2-0 UEFA Europa League win over Basel with a last-gasp 2-1 victory over Strasbourg, and head to the French capital with renewed confidence after that sequence followed consecutive losses against Toulouse and Nice. Keeping pace at the top will likely depend on improvements on the road, where Lyon have been beaten in four of their last six league games (W2).[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]The last league H2H between the two sides was almost 47 years ago when Lyon claimed a 2-1 victory back in November 1978, yet Paris avoided defeat in all three games on their own turf (W2, D1).[/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]

[p]Mathieu Cafaro has missed Paris’ last two matches, joining the likes of Julien López and Pierre-Yves Hamel on the sidelines. Lyon’s Malick Fofana was forced off injured at the weekend.[/p]
