This is one of the most exciting games of the weekend in Europe as two French heavyweights go head to head and Lyon will be hoping to stop PSG from running away with the title.
If PSG wins this game, they would make it almost impossible for any other team to catch them this season as they would go 14 points clear of the second team.
Their 8-0 win over mid-table Dijon last time out is a perfect preparation for them in this game but Lyon also won their last game 2-0 at Guingamp and they have the advantage of playing at home.
PSG face a similar task to what Manchester City faced when they visited Anfield last weekend and they have to come out on top to confirm their superiority in the French league this season.
PSG needed two own goals to beat Lyon when they met at the Parc Des Princes in September – a result that shows that Lyon can actually stop Neymar and Co. from running riot.
PSG’s recent form shows six wins in as many games while Lyon’s stats show four wins, one draw and one loss.
Lyon will be heading into this game with vengeance in their mind and they could get it.
There could be goals at both end of the pitch as PSG have conceded 3 goals in their last 6 games while Lyon have netted in every one of their last 6 matches.
Nabir Fekir has netted 15 times already this season and a fit again Mariano Diaz has added 11 league goals of his own.
PSG have Edinson Cavani who has netted 20 times while Neymar has 15 league goals of his own and with these stars present, this game should be a real thriller.
