[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]A run of one win in five league games (D2, L2) has seen Lyon fall behind their fellow title hopefuls as they seek a first Ligue 1 crown since 2007/08.  A 0-0 draw against Brest last weekend didn’t do anything to allay fears that they’re starting to slip off the pace already, and they failed to make amends in midweek UEFA Europa League action either when they went down 2-0 to Real Betis. They have at least won six of their seven home games this season (L1), keeping an impressive five clean sheets in the process, but the last four league games in that run being decided by a one-goal margin suggests a victory here is unlikely to be by a landslide.[/p]
[p]PSG arrive at the Groupama Stadium on the back of a 2-1 UEFA Champions League defeat to ten-man Bayern Munich which ended their eight-match unbeaten run in all competitions (W5, D3). They’ve been far from at their imperious best in Ligue 1 this term, as despite topping the table with a two-point cushion to second place pre-round, just two wins from their last five league outings (D3) show they haven’t quite been their dominant selves, even if one did come in their last Ligue 1 outing against Nice. Securing a pre-round league-high 11 points on the road this season would hint that back-to-back league wins for the first time in almost two months are on the horizon.[/p]
