Lyon vs PSG: Time, TV channel, live stream, lineups and betting odds from Ligue 1 2022/23

First-place PSG will take their undefeated record on the road to face long-time rivals Olympique Lyon in the marquee match of the Ligue 1 slate. Lyon enter the match in sixth place, six points behind Les Parisiens.

PSG are rolling so far in 2022/23 under new manager Christophe Galtier, and their attacking trident of Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi, and Neymar have never looked better. With the international break looming and the next match scheduled for Oct. 1, it may not be the time to rest them and potentially upset the team's current run of nine wins and a draw from their opening 10 matches across all competitions.

Lyon are eager to get their season back on track after two straight road losses against Lorient (3-1) and AS Monaco (2-1). Those results came as a surprise after Lyon won four of their first five matches of the season.

Olympique Lyon is a side that enjoys big games at their Groupama Stadium, where they have won eight straight matches in league play. They should turn up for the occasion with PSG's manager already anticipating heavy Lyon pressing and intensity from the start. This matchup finished 1-1 when they last met on Jan. 9, but Neymar and Messi didn't dress for the match.

It's a natural rivalry between these two of France's most successful clubs who have won 15 of the last 21 French Ligue 1 titles between them. Galtier was part of the Lyon coaching staff that won their last Ligue 1 title in 2007/08 under then manager Alain Perrin behind the goal scoring of current Real Madrid star Karim Benzema.

Lyon vs PSG lineups

Manager Peter Bosz has his full group available to him except for two players: Defender Jerome Boateng will miss out due to what Bosz called a muscle issue, while goalkeeper Julian Pollersbeck is a long-term absence after undergoing knee surgery. Midfielder Houssem Aouar, who missed time to start the season with an ankle injury, did not make the cut for the matchday squad.

There is some speculation that Bosz could shift from his usual 4-3-3 formation to a 4-4-2 with 19-year-old holding midfielder Johann Lepenant (six starts in seven matches) exiting the lineup, while forward Moussa Dembele would join captain Alexandre Lacazette at forward.

Lyon starting lineup (4-4-2, right to left): 1-Anthony Lopes (GK) — 27-Malo Gusto, 23-Thiago Mendes, 4-Castello Lukeba, 3-Nicolas Tagliafico — 11-Tete, 88-Corentin Tolisso, 6-Maxence Caqueret, 7-Karl Toko Ekambi — 9-Moussa Dembele, 10-Alexandre Lacazette.

Lyon subs (10): 35-Remi Riou (GK), 40-Kayne Bonnevie (GK), 2-Sinaly Diomande, 12-Henrique, 21-Damien Da Silva, 22-Jeff Reine-Adelaide, 15-Romain Faivre, 18-Rayan Cherki, 25-Bradley Barcola

Manager Christophe Galtier has a 21-man squad for the trip to Lyon, where it's still unclear whether he'll opt for a 4-3-3 or a 3-4-3 formation. If Lyon go with two center forwards, the four-man backline might be the preferred option. 

Although back pain kept second-string goalkeeper Keylor Navas out of the midweek Champions League match at Maccabi Haifa, he's recovered to be part of the group. But Renato Sanches (right groin) and Presnel Kimpembe (left thigh injury) will not be available.

PSG starting lineup (3-4-3, right to left): 99-Gianluigi Donnarumma (GK) — 4-Sergio Ramos, 5-Marquinhos, 15-Danilo Pereira — 2-Achraf Hakimi, 6-Marco Verratti, 8-Fabian Ruiz, 25-Nuno Mendes — 30-Lionel Messi, 7-Kylian Mbappe, 10-Neymar

PSG subs (10): 1-Keylor Navas (GK), 16-Sergio Rico (GK), 31-El Chadaille Bitshiabu, 26-Nordi Mukiele, 14-Juan Bernat, 33-Warren Zaire-Emery, 17-Vitinha, 28-Carlos Soler, 19-Pablo Sarabia, 44-Hugo Ekitike

Lyon vs PSG best bet, prediction

The temptation in this match would be to lean toward a potential upset result given how strong Lyon have been at home in league play, on top of the fact that the two teams tied 1-1 the last time they met at the Groupama Stadium. But that was a different Lyon team that had Lucas Paqueta (now with West Ham) and Bruno Guimaraes (with Newcastle). Plus, Messi and Neymar didn't feature for PSG in that one.

The odds project another PSG victory in a high-scoring match. No reason to be a contrarian here. This PSG team has a different feel about them, and they have seemingly been able to score at will. Galtier's men have been in other sticky situations in their first 10 matches — they were 1-0 down at Israeli champions Maccabi Haifa in midweek in the Champions League and still won 3-1 — and outside of the 1-1 draw with AS Monaco (they outshot Monaco 18-4), they generally manage to pull through thanks to their attacking trio.

• Pick: PSG win and both teams to score (+140 on Caesars)
