PSG without four stars, Lyon on top: the league lead is at stake at the Parc des Princes on Monday night
PSG – Lyon · Kick-off: 26 October 2026 at 22:30
By: SportsPF Match Desk · Published: · Updated:

The match is on Monday 26 October rather than Sunday (22:30 Istanbul time) and pits PSG and leaders Lyon, both on 14 points. PSG have won their last 4 and scored in all 7 league games, but that run includes mid-to-lower table opponents like Le Mans (16th) and Strasbourg (14th); at home they lost 1-2 to Monaco and beat Le Mans 3-1 in 2 games, conceding 1.50 per game at the Parc. Luis Enrique is without Kvaratskhelia (cruciate, out for the season), Dembélé, Marquinhos and Nuno Mendes; Marquinhos (3 goals, 21% of the team's) is the top-scoring defender, while Ferran Torres leads with 4 (29%), though all of them came away. Lyon have the league's best defence (5 conceded in 7), conceded just 0.67 per game away and kept a clean sheet in 2 of 3; but on Thursday they lost 0-3 at Hoffenheim in the Europa League with a mostly reserve side. Lyon are without Openda (broken, until the November international break), Ouedraogo (cruciate) and suspended Nakamura, with Tagliafico and Kango doubtful. Lyon won 2-1 at the Parc des Princes last season, but in their previous meetings PSG have 10 wins to Lyon's 3.
PSG's attack is one of the league's best (14 goals in 7) but their defence leaks at home; Lyon scoring only 1.00 away reduces the chance of both teams scoring. BTTS and Over 2.5 have landed in 86% of PSG games and 57% of Lyon's, so the PSG side leans toward goals. The most balanced pick is the double chance 1X, but with their absences PSG are not full favourites; PSG team goals over 1.5 is worth considering too.
