The history of Ligue 1 attests to this: these duels between the Paris Saint-Germain and theOlympique Lyonnais often result in high-flying fights, in terms of quality of play, storyline and twists and turns. But the little extra this season is the level of competitiveness of the Lyonnais. In the past, these two big names have not always swum in the same waters. For two months, OL have been the most prolific team in the championship ahead of the reigning champion, which says everything about their state of form.
We can therefore expect a great show which will, ideally, be an advertisement for Ligue 1. A tactical fight between two technicians with very different temperaments but with comparable ideas, too. And a match within the match for certain players, like Bradley Barcola, the former Lyonnais, or his friend Rayan Cherki, who has been walking on water for several weeks. In the event of a victory, PSG will widen the gap a little further at the top of the ranking, but otherwise, it is OL who will send a message to all their competitors. The stage is set.
The expected compositions
Paris SG : Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos (c), Pacho, Nuno Mendes – Zaire-Emery, João Neves, Vitinha – Dembélé, Ramos, Barcola.
Lyon : Perri – Maitland-Niles, Mata, Niakhaté, Tagliafico – Veretout, Matic, Tolisso – Cherki, Lacazette (c), Fofana.
