Football – France – Ligue 1 Betting Tips
It’s also a big day in Sunday’s French Ligue 1 action with top of the league Paris Saint-Germain taking on fifth placed Lyon as the betting tips roll on…
Following their 3-2 defeat away to Liverpool in the opening group match of the Champions League, PSG have recorded four wins on the trot in all competitions with victories over Stade Rennes, Reims and Nice in Ligue 1 as well as a crushing 6-1 demolition of Red Star Belgrade during the week in the Champions League.
PSG’s only defeat this season to date was at Liverpool, but whether they win or lose (they usually win), the French champions are scoring goals for fun. All eight of their Ligue 1 matches have resulted in over 2.5 goals, and with a 100% home record that stands at 4-0-0 14/2 the hosts look in excellent shape ahead of this clash.
An imposing forward line of Mbappe (4 goals), Cavani (5 goals) and Neymar (7 goals) have provided the bulk of the goals for the hosts who will be keen to further extend their five point lead at the top of Ligue 1 here tonight.
Lyon head over to Paris for this important clash against PSG on the back of a promising six match unbeaten run in all competitions which includes league wins against Marseille and Dijon in Ligue 1 as well as a shock 2-1 win away at Manchester City in the opening group match of the Champions League.
Lyon were held to a 2-2 draw at home by Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League during the week, but the visitors have also been involved in high scoring matches in recent times with 5 of their last 6 matches overall resulting in over 2.5 goals.
In addition, 9 of Lyon’s last 11 away matches have seen 3 goals or more, so goals should figure in this encounter too.
My betting tips suggest a home win for PSG as well as plenty of goals.
