Lyon's season has been a disappointment, and they're eager to secure a significant victory against PSG to propel themselves into the top half of the table or even contention for European football. Meanwhile, PSG maintains a comfortable lead at the summit of Ligue 1.

Currently, PSG occupies the top spot in Ligue 1 after 28 matches, boasting 18 wins, nine draws, and just one loss, accumulating 63 points, ten points clear of second-placed Brest.

Offensively, PSG has been formidable this season, notching 65 goals in 28 matches, averaging 2.23 goals per game. Defensively, they've shown some inconsistency, conceding 24 goals while keeping 11 clean sheets.

On the other hand, Lyon currently occupies the tenth position in Ligue 1. With 11 wins, five draws, and 12 losses in 28 matches, they've garnered 38 points, six points adrift of European qualification.

Lyon's offensive performance has been lackluster, scoring only 34 goals at an average of 1.21 goals per game. Defensively, they've struggled, conceding 42 goals while managing ten clean sheets.

The upcoming match marks the 90th meeting between PSG and Lyon in Ligue 1 and the 104th encounter overall. PSG holds the upper hand in their head-to-head record with 46 wins compared to Lyon's 26 victories, with draws occurring more frequently than Lyon wins, totaling 31 matches.

Recent encounters between the two sides have seen PSG clinch three wins, Lyon secure one victory, and one match ending in a draw. While goals have been scored in three of the last five meetings, apart from PSG's recent 4-1 triumph, matches between the two have generally been low-scoring affairs. Luis Enrique will be without Layvin Kurzawa, Sergio Rico, and Presnel Kimpembe for this weekend's clash, while Nordi Mukiele may return from concussion. Conversely, Pierre Sage could have a fully fit squad at his disposal, with Duje Caleta-Car and Orel Mangala potentially returning from suspension and injury, respectively. PSG enters the fixture with four wins, one draw, and one loss in their last six outings across all competitions.

Recent matches for both teams have seen PSG defeat Montpellier and Marseille, secure a narrow draw against Clermont Foot, and face a defeat against Barcelona in the Champions League Quarter Finals. Meanwhile, Lyon has secured victories against Toulouse, Nantes, Valenciennes, and Brest, with a draw against Reims in Ligue 1.

With both teams eyeing crucial points for different reasons, the upcoming clash promises to be an intense battle between two competitive sides.

PSG has maintained its usual dominance throughout this Ligue 1 season, while Lyon has experienced a tumultuous journey. It's highly probable that PSG will secure all three points at home this weekend.
