With seven national championships between 2002 and 2008, Olympique Lyon was the dominant team of the noughties in Ligue 1. The decade, meanwhile, belonged to Paris Saint-Germain, which celebrated seven championships between 2013 and 2020. So now the two defining teams of the 21st century, both of which also reached the semifinals of the Champions League last summer, are going head-to-head for the first championship of the freshly dawned third decade.
The bookmakers’ odds on Lyon against PSG are slightly in favor of the visitors, as the odds comparison on AFT shows.
The clash between Lyon and Paris is by no means as explosive as a match between one of the two teams and Olympique Marseille, for example. However, given the current standings, where both teams are on 60 points, three points behind leaders Lille, it would be hard to see more at stake.
The Parisiens in particular, with their highly decorated squad, are massively in debt and cannot afford a defeat under any circumstances.
