Preview

Match preview

Paris FC host Lyon in round four of Ligue 1 with both sides enjoying strong starts to the campaign. The two clubs enter this encounter locked on seven points with identical records of two wins and one draw from their opening three fixtures, having each scored six goals and conceded only twice.

Paris FC arrive on the back of consecutive victories, following up a commanding 3-0 home win over Nice with a thrilling 3-2 success away at Marseille. Striker L. Sinayoko has been in clinical form, already tallying four league goals this season. Lyon have matched their hosts stride for stride, earning a 2-0 away win at Toulouse before recording a 3-1 home victory against Auxerre.

Previous meetings between these two sides suggest competitive, high-action affairs, with both past head-to-head encounters in the database ending in score draws (3-3 and 1-1). With both attacks firing freely in the opening weeks of the season, another balanced contest where both sides find the net appears likely.
