Their overall league record this season is W18 D2. If Lyon wants to take any kind of hope into this, then the two draws that PSG have been held to this season have both been in their last six games played. However they were in away games and PSG have a perfect P11 W11 record at home this season.
Earlier this season when they played host to Lyon, PSG stormed to a 5-0 victory. Their numbers just are pretty incredible because they have scored an average of 3.7 goals per home game this season. Defensively they have conceded just four goals in their 11 home fixtures. That is a clean sheet in 64% of their home victories. PSG have conceded just one goal in their last four league home games, scoring 15 goals in that sequence. Even without Neymar they still have plenty of scoring power on show with Kylian Mbappe and Edinson Cavani.
