PSG has odds @1.53 so they are clearly the favourite compared to Lyon but i am not surprised because Lyon until now still unable to out from poor results and so far they got 1 draw from 5 matches and 4 loses in all competitions and their forward lines seems because one of their serious problem because from those matches Lyon only able to scores 2 goals and today too it is confirmed Lyon will playing without their forward player Lacazette who still got suspension and i know PSG conditions currently still not stable but at least they were still unbeatable but after Mbappe return to play i am sure PSG will be able to beat Lyon today

[poodle63]

Randal Kolo Muani is the most expensive palyer of PSG in this transfer window they hired him from Eintracht Frankfurt while this team wanted to keep this palyer and Kolo Muan had bad behavior there, that's why he made his team to accept the offer, and let him go, now Kolo Muan got injured in the training and the most expensive players of PSG in this simmer will be absent against Olympique Lyonnais.

It's not a serious injury and it has been confirmed by https://twitter.com/Djaameel_

Kolo muani may able to play against lyon. The club really needs full points to catch up monaco which has been showing stable and perfect results.

PSG's odd is quite good but i just wanna risking myself in picking lyon over PSG. Mbappe is the biggest threat for lyon but consider the next game will happen away for PSG and i think that it's not so bad to pick LYON as it has a very good odds at this moment.
Lyon is having a chance to get draw or win against PSG. I hope if PSG will get zero points in this match.  The combination of Lyon playing at home and having good odds is making me feel confident enough to take a risk and bet on them. 


Monaco was just humiliating lens with huge scores. Monaco was also able getting cleansheet against lens.

Lyon wants to end the series of bad results and PSG wants to continue the winning trend. That's the picture seen so far, even though PSG is superior, I see this as a slight advantage, because as you said PSG is not completely stable. On the other hand, Luis Enrique looks like he will field his new recruit Kolo Muani, this will be his first debut with the defending Ligue 1 champions.

It could be that Lyon will be a stumbling block for PSG to secure full points, because Lyon is a little lucky because they are playing at home. But the course of the match will answer whether PSG has good luck this time.

PSG is the most favorite team for the title in Ligue 1 this season. Even Taru is not certain that PSG will win the title. Due to this, their performance cannot be said to be stable till now. They drew the first two of the three matches and won the third. PSG's performance has been erratic. Especially their attacking performance is still weak. If the attack is not strong, PSG's chances of winning the title will decrease.

PSG's main rivals for the title this season will be Marseille and Monaco. And the performance of these two teams is quite good. Marseille have won two and drawn two of their 4 matches. Monaco, on the other hand, have won two out of three matches, and will win today's match as well. PSG are now eighth in the table. Topping the table won't be easy for PSG.

It was worth giving Mbappe the opportunity to play from the first minutes, as PSG win, a coincidence? ) It is obvious that Mbappe is a very important player and Enrique was able to understand this in the first rounds. Probably the main rival of PSG this season will be Monaco, I'm not sure about Marseille yet. Lyon have started this season very badly, so there is no need to give them any big chances against PSG, but they understand the importance of getting points and this should be implemented in home matches.

There is no trend for PSG yet. They have won a single game and of course there goal is to win the next three points, but I think it will be an interesting game as it is early and I am still not sure whether Lyon is extremely weak or just out of shape for the time being. PSG might win it because of the sheer superiority of their squad. I guess that is what will eventually carry them through the rough times, whereas Lyon can't just trust in the quality of individual players to win the game for them. That's probably the difference of having Mbappe vs. not having Mbappe.

Monaco are continuing on their impressive form. This time they beat Lens by 3-0 home. For now they really seem like they have the potential to fight for the league title this season. Especially if PSG seem inconsistent for a long time this can really be an opportunity for us to see even a different champion but it is still early.

Lens are completely the opposite of the previous season now. They still couldn't get a win after 4 games left behind. They lost especially two important players in midfield and attacking line. But I wasn't expecting them to start this bad anyway. I wonder whether they can prepare nicely for the Champions League.

In my opinion this will be an easy match for PSG because Lyon have appeared quite disappointing in the previous three matches, so it's only natural that the bookies give the winning odds for PSG to be bigger. PSG can score two or more goals in this match and I hope their new recruit can play because it will add even more attack power to PSG. Mbappe has also performed optimally in the previous match so there are no big problems for the front line so far, Luis Enrique just needs to make some changes at the back so that PSG's defense will be much more solid.

Betting odds may be taken on a win of two goals or more and looking at Lyon it may not be such a difficult opponent for PSG to face at the moment. Based on several considerations and I am sure the match will end with a two goal victory. So betting on PSG winning will be much more profitable because they are very favorites.

Monaco was just humiliating lens with huge scores. Monaco was also able getting cleansheet against lens.

Monaco gave a very good performance until Lens was unable to match Monaco game which tended to focus more on attacking play since the first half started, Monaco controlled the ball perfectly so that they were able to create 3 goals in the match and Lens seemed to difficulty blocking every attack made by several front line players Monaco.

In the first 4 matches this season Monaco managed to become one of the top teams with 3 wins and unfortunately 1 match against Nantes only ended in a 3 - 3 draw.
If the match against Lorient can be won there is a big possibility that Monaco can still lead the standings for longer and have a greater chance of winning the title or becoming runner-up.

It could be that Lyon will be a stumbling block for PSG to secure full points, because Lyon is a little lucky because they are playing at home. But the course of the match will answer whether PSG has good luck this time.

Even though PSG is playing as a guest, of course they must be able to get the full three points in the match against Lyon in today's match week 4, PSG only won one win from three matches and the other two matches were draws, while Lyon has not won any matches at all. Of these three matches, the results were two defeats and one draw, of course if Lyon suffers another defeat they will fall further down the rankings.

PSG also need a win to solidify their position in the standings and improve their previous poor results, at least they can steal three points from this match even though it will definitely be difficult because Lyon as the host does not want to lose points again for the third time especially playing at home. and humiliated in front of all his supporters. the course of the match will determine who is the winner, what's more, we can see that on several sports betting sites PSG is very favored.

Kylian has stayed with the team but his mind is still elsewhere. I don't know if he can fully contribute to the team. As it is known, PSG put him on the sales list, but no team can afford this high cost right now. Even if he does, there is a priority team for Mbappe and he is taking every opportunity to go to them. It may be playing with PSG this year, but it may outperform last year.

Although Mbappe is currently very young but his professionalism at work I think he is a pretty good player so when he decided to extend his contract at PSG (although there is a record of being sold next season) he must have thought carefully and will be serious (professional) with his decision.
As for when PSG plays and loses, it does not mean that Mbappe is not doing something good and unprofessional but he himself is not able to bear all the players so that when he plays well it is very useless if the other players do not play well.
Unless his form drops this season it might be an indication that he's not serious but looking at his current condition I think he always does his best even if the results don't match expectations.

Good game strategy from the new boss, Adolf Hütter who is here to upgrade Monaco game pattern. They're first on the Ligue One table after 3W 1D 0L stats. Monaco hosted Lens at Stade Louis II and humiliated their visitor. That's a direct signal to PSG to be fully prepared to compete with them for France Ligue One title, perhaps it's still early to predicts preeminent contenders for the trophy, but I can only choose after these teams have played their tenth game. Moreover I'm not surprised that Monaco thrashed Lens 3 nil because they played incredibly.

From what I understand it's a minor injury (sprained right ankle) and he'll be back in action in a few days. But he will definitely miss the game with the Olympic - it makes no sense to risk the third most expensive player in history for PSG (the first two are Neymar and Mbappe). And I don't think that PSG's chances will change in any way from this - after all, he has not played with the rest of the players at all, so he would hardly be a big boost even if he took part in the game.

What if he misses one or more games? The guys bought him with long-term thinking. He will play there for 5 years. This is an excellent transfer as long as he doesn't break something and suffer long term injuries. He was one of the best players available in the market. Teams other than PSG should be upset that they didn't get him. He could have gone to teams like Real Madrid, but now he will play in France. It was one of the best transfers of the year. This fact must be accepted.

Kolo Muani is a brilliant transfer for PSG thinking of the future. He can actually be beneficial as of today also because he is already 24 years old. The most productive time period for a striker is said to be between the ages of 25 and 29 - as far as I know with many examples. This isn't valid for everyone of course as there are great players even at the age of 35.  

Anyway I don't see any injury information for Kolo Muani currently. Maybe he has already recovered which is good news.

I was just not expecting PSG to spend an amount like 95 million euros to sign another striker after loaning Ramos. But if Mbappe leaves next summer then PSG would make use of this transfer even more.

I think it depends because look when Benzema and Lewandowski won their titles as the best players in the world. I know this is not how it aways goes, but a striker can be extremely good in his 30s if they stay in great physical shape of course. Without that nothings works, but that is the same for a player at every age.

Usually in their 25 - 29 years they have a better pace, but with age also comes some more experience that can definitely be beneficial when it comes to close games and critical situations. Those players may be more calm I suppose and know exactly what to do and where to spend their energy.

Lyon started this season very badly, while PSG just won last week and overall PSG's performance has not been that good so in my opinion this match will be very tough, Lyon wants to aim for its first win and PSg wants to continue its positive trend.
The PSG team currently has so many problems that it is affecting their performance.
If you look at the quality of the team, PSG has a greater chance of winning the match, but I avoid betting on this match, I think it is quite risky to bet on a team that has not been consistent.

If we refer to the comparison of these two teams, their performance is contradictory. although PSG have only won once, they are not yet defeated. on the contrary, Lyon started the campaign without a win in its three matches. This match will be a difficult match for Lyon. In their three matches, Lyon was only able to score two goals and conceded six goals. meaning, Lyon is having serious problems with their players. To restore the mentality and performance of his players, Laurent Blanc must have a strategy in his strategy to overthrow his opposing team in this match. unfortunately, SPG is not an easy team for them to overthrow. although, Luis Enrique's troop squad hasn't shown its best game yet.

On the contrary, even though this match is an away game, Luis Enrique will target a win in this match to continue the positive trend in their campaign. Previously, Enrique insisted that his team should not underestimate Lyon even though they were performing poorly. referring to the predicted line-up that Enrique will implement, he will still play the starting eleven as in the previous match with a 4-3-3 pattern. most likely, Assensio will remain a center forward. Likewise with Lyon, Laurent Blanc will continue to apply his 4-2-3-1 pattern. referring to betting odds, the home team is at @5.20, while PSG is at odds @1.60.
IMO, it's not so bad to bet on PSG at odds of 1.60. which means, my estimation is that PSG will win this match.

Now I understand why Lens keeps losing and can't win because they lost their mainstay striker who left this season and the most recent yesterday was a heavy defeat against Monaco with a score of 3-0. We know that Luis Openda has been a goal machine for Lens since last season with 21 goals and his departure to Leipzig made it difficult for Lens to score goals.

In fact, Lens is now in the red zone with 1 point from the 4 matches they have played and this has destroyed the expectations of some people who previously stated that Lens would be a strong competitor for PSG like last season. Well, apart from that all congratulations to Monaco because they managed to win the game after last week only played a draw against Nantes.

It is undeniable that the departure of their mainstay in attack affected their game especially in scoring goals. But not only that, the fact that their defense is also not working well makes it easy for them to lose goals. From the 4 matches they have played, they have conceded 10 times, it means that on average they concede more than 2 goals in each match. Meanwhile they can only score 4 goals from 4 matches that have been played. and if we look at the number of their conceding, Lens is the club that has conceded the most so far.

After Mbappe who made the PSG owner angry in this summer, now another player is causing problems for the team. While Enrique doesn't need Hugo Ekitiké anymore and PSG wants to sell this prayer to have an empty spot in their team, but Hugo Ekitiké doesn't want to leave the team. In fact, this player even got offer from  Eintracht Frankfurt and he could leave the teams he doesn't want to do that, and this could cause trouble in PSG hiring Randal Kolo Muani.

But it is his right to stay if he wants to. I think it may most of the time not be the wisest choice to stay at a club that is planning without that specific player, but there have also been examples when a player stayed against the desire of the club and performed against all expectations. I understand Ekitiké because going to another country and a cub that is not of a similar profile is really hard I think, but as it seems now PSG won't even give him a chance to prove them wrong. But as it often is during a season, two or three players get injured and out of a sudden they need him again and he gets his chance. But in general, he has the right to stay as per the contract he signed with PSG. There is nothing wrong about that.
