In the final and central match of the eighth round of the French Ligue 1, Lyon will play PSG on their own field. The forecast for this duel is presented to your attention.
"Lyon"
The "Weavers" are a very formidable force in the selection of players this season, but so far they have problems with teamwork, which is why they are in 5th place in the standings, 6 points behind the leading PSG. In the last two home matches, Lyon confidently dealt with Auxerre (2:1) and Angers (5:0), but in the subsequent away matches they lost to Lorient (1:3) and Monaco (1:2).
PSG
PSG made only 1 misfire this season, settling for a draw with Monaco at home towards the end of August. In the next two away matches, Christophe Galtier's team took out Toulouse and Nantes with the same score 3-0. The Parisians' start in the Champions League also turned out to be successful – a home defeat of the Italian Juventus and an away victory over the Israeli Maccabi (3:1), between which they modestly beat Brest at home (1:0).

Forecast
It will be very hot in Lyon this evening. The local team, in whatever form it is, almost always fights PSG very hard with exorbitant motivation. The Parisians have begun to show signs of accumulated fatigue in recent matches, and the defense of Christophe Galtier's team is not in full order. The hosts here are quite capable of not losing.
