Troyes +1/4 @1.91
Min price to bet: +1/4 @1.83 or dnb @2.15
Model +value: yes
Significant team news: Experienced dm Gonalons doubt to start for Clermont (but he is in the squad for tomorrow), wng Allevinah out, rb Zeffane also still out; Troyes' first choice rb Balde unavailable due to sickness
Note: Clermont are in mid-table with respectable 10 points after 7 rounds, but they have heavily relied on heroics of their gk Diaw, who has been performing like a man possessed recently; being their clear man of the match in last 3 games (0-0 at Strasbourg, 2-0 win v Toulouse, 1-0 loss at Marseille), and impressing in 1-0 win v Nice earlier this season as well. Theit 5.8 xG is the worst in Ligue 1; same goes for 15.6 xG against (but they conceded only 10, thanks mostly to their hero between the posts), and only toothless Ajaccio have created less big chances. Troyes are no world-beaters, they have 3 points less and are certainly a relegation candidate, but they look like the better side, and we can't really make Clermont favs in this game, it's about 50-50, perhaps with 0.5-1.0% advantage to the hosts, so at current prices we make the visitors a clear bet for tomorrow, in this low-profile Ligue 1 game.

Lyon vs PSG

Lyon will want a better result here after a 2-1 Ligue 1 defeat in their last game at the hands of Monaco. Despite that bad run, they sit in 5th place, being six points behind their upcoming rivals. L’OL hasn’t been able to stop scoring goals, hitting the target in one hundred percent of their last six matches. They’ve hit an aggregate of 14 during that period while seeing the number of goals scored against them stand at 8. Looking at personnel, there is just a single fitness concern for the Lyon boss Peter Bosz to be concerned about, thanks to an otherwise robust squad. Julian Pollersbeck (Knee Surgery) is out of contention.

The defending champions missed the chance to win just one in the opening seven rounds in Ligue 1. They are joint-first with arch-rivals Marseille and the biggest overachiever, Lorient. Over the course of their last six clashes, Paris Saint-Germain has bagged a tally of 17 goals. Paris Saint-Germain has also not failed to score on each one of those occasions. During that period, they have seen three goals go against them. The visitors go to this game after beating Maccabi Haifa on the road in their latest Champions League match. Timothée Pembélé (Cruciate Ligament Injury) and Presnel Kimpembe (Hamstring Injury) will miss out on this game.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction                                                                            

PSG was more successful in their recent head-to-head matches in Lyon, beating the hosts three times on the previous four occasions. They are in better form, and we expect the Parisiens to celebrate another victory.

Goals Market Prediction

Both teams have been involved in high-scoring matches this season, and this one shouldn’t be an exception. That’s why we believe these two sides will produce at least three goals in total. 

PSG to Win @ 1.65

Over 3 FT @ 1.55

Correct score 1:4 @ 19.00

Lyon vs PSG

The Ligue 1 action enters the international break with a fascinating clash to close proceedings this weekend as Lyon welcome PSG to the Parc Olympique Lyonnais on Sunday evening for this 7:45pm BST kick-off. It's perhaps surprising to see that neither of these two giants of French football currently top the top flight table heading into this game but that could change come full-time.

Lyon come into this game in 6th place having won 4 of their first 7 league games of the season. Head coach Peter Bosz will be keen to improve on their 8th placed finish last season and the fact the team doesn't have to worry about European commitments this season could help their efforts. Unfortunately, it's been back-to-back away defeats in the league to Lorient and Monaco so they are out of form heading into this tough challenge. The good news is that they have won all 4 home league games so far this season scoring 13 goals in the process. It's now an impressive run of 8 home league wins for Lyon stretching back into last season and their attacking qualities are summed up by the fact they have scored at least 1 goal in their last 16 successive league matches played.

PSG will be keen to get back onto the top of the table as soon as possible. Head coach Christophe Galtier was brought in from Nice and remains unbeaten during his tenure as gaffer with the capital city club. The team are in 2nd position in the league with 6 wins and 1 draw from their 7 league games so far. Back-to-back wins in the Champions League group stage over Juventus at home and Maccabi Haifa away mean it's great news on all fronts. The biggest key factor is that Galtier has somehow rejuvenated the trio of Neymar, Lionel Messi, and Kylian Mbappe which is bad news for the rest of European football. PSG come into this game having avoided defeat in 33 of their previous 36 league matches. Neymar has already scored 11 goals in all competitions so he's surely worth an anytime scorer bet.

It would be great to see Lyon battling for the Ligue 1 title again but I fear this game with PSG could expose their weaknesses. They have made the Parc Olympique Lyonnais a bit of a fortress but PSG just seem to be battering down the defensive doors of every team this season. I think we'll see both teams scoring here but it's going to take a mammoth effort by Lyon to avoid defeat.
