Lyon hosts Paris Saint-Germain in round 30 of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Sunday, March 21st at Parc Olympique Lyonnais (Lyon)
Lyon continues to be led by Rudy Garcia, who previously brought the team to the Champions League semifinals. If we look at the results, then the Kids are more or less stable. For example, let’s take the last 30 matches in all tournaments. The Olympians lost only three times in this segment. Even though the 2020/21 season is one of the most difficult in modern football history, Lyon has no serious failures. The Kids have a good chance of getting into the Champions League next season. In Ligue 1, the team is sharing the second line of the standings with PSG (60 points scored). Considering that all opponents fail (including Lille, which is in the first place with a margin of only 3 points), it is quite possible to wedge into the struggle for the gold medals of the French championship.

More recently, PSG was headed by Mauricio Pochettino. This is not to say that the team looks super powerful and shows stable results. Yes, the Parisians won the Super Cup and made it to the Champions League quarterfinals, having dealt with Barcelona, but things are not going so brightly in the championship. One gets the feeling that the coaching staff simply cannot motivate the players to use their maximum potential in Ligue 1. And they don't give their best. As a result, Paris Saint-Germain unexpectedly lost to Lorient, Monaco, and Nantes. The misfire against the Canaries happened last weekend. The appearance of a sub-optimal line-up and underestimation of the opponent led to a comeback victory for Nantes (1:2). Thus, the struggle for the first place has intensified.
Let's give the advantage to Lyon. This team has no problems with the squad. Its infirmary is empty, and all the players are ready to give battle to the opponent. The same cannot be said about Paris Saint-Germain. Pochettino cannot count on Bernat. Neymar, Herrera, and Florenzi are questionable. We have already seen what happened when PSG played against Nantes using a sub-optimal lineup. Both teams scored 60 points and are now fighting for leadership positions. Nobody is going to give in, and we will see a battle for 6 points. The Kids play at home and have a great chance to overtake PSG in the Ligue 1 standings. In addition, we will add that the Olympians defeated the Red-Blues in the first away match (0-1).
Prediction for the match: Lyon to win with +1.0 handicap
