Round 12 of Ligue 1 features the most awaited showdown between two of France’s top powers: Paris Saint-Germain and Lyon. One side is the reigning European champion eager to win to maintain first place, the other is the ambitious "Rhône Lions," determined to close the gap.
PSG enters the big clash under heavy spirits after a 1-2 loss to Bayern Munich in the midweek Champions League. Luis Diaz scored twice within 32 minutes before being sent off. Joao Neves’ equalizer wasn’t enough to save Luis Enrique’s team from a painful defeat, ending their clean sheet streak in Europe. Still, the Ligue 1 champions maintain stable form domestically. A 1-0 win over Nice last weekend, thanks to a late goal by Goncalo Ramos, helped the capital club extend their unbeaten streak to six matches. PSG is also the "away king" this season with 11 points, although their only defeat came in the "Le Classique" at Marseille.
On the other hand, Lyon is making a strong comeback under Paulo Fonseca. Ranked 6th but only 4 points behind PSG, the Groupama Stadium hosts can reduce the gap to one point with a win this time. Lyon’s home form is a big support, winning six of their last seven home games and scoring in every home match this season. The head-to-head record favors PSG: the "rich club" has won five of the last six meetings and has never lost at Lyon since 2019. However, with a defense that has conceded only 12 goals and a confident spirit playing on their "home turf," Lyon can definitely cause an upset if they make the most of their chances.
