This fixture at Parc des Princes serves up one of Ligue 1's most prestigious derbies. PSG's attacking capacity and Lyon's momentum in recent weeks combine to produce a statistical picture that points toward a goal-rich and competitive encounter.
Over 2.5 Goals — 72%
PSG play high-scoring matches both home and away this season. Despite the absence of Kylian Mbappé, their attack remains the most dangerous in Ligue 1. Lyon have found the net in every away match across their last 6 games. The meeting of these two attacking forces pushes over 2.5 to a strong 72%.
Both Teams to Score — 58%
Lyon have managed to be productive against top-flight defences this season. PSG's high defensive line occasionally invites counter-attacks; Lyon's quick wingers have the capacity to exploit those gaps. At 58%, BTTS is one of this match's notable indicators.
Over 3.5 Goals — 42%
PSG vs Lyon derbies have historically pushed the 3.5 threshold. Three of the last 5 meetings saw 4 or more total goals. PSG's home pressure and Lyon's attacking intent keep the high-scoring possibility alive.
First Half Over 1.5 — 44%
PSG typically set the tempo in the first half at Parc des Princes. The atmosphere created by the home crowd increases the likelihood of early goals. At 44%, first half over 1.5 sits in a slightly neutral zone, though PSG's first-half productivity keeps it in consideration.
