"Embarking on what has become a sensational purple patch, Lyon certainly find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Rightfully receiving a string of plaudits from across the continent, Paulo Fonseca's men will travel to Lorraine on Sunday afternoon smelling the chance to extend on their stellar run of form. Winning six of their seven Europa League appearances this season and leading the chase at the top of the top, Les Gones have also come skyrocketing their way up the Ligue 1 standings."
"Last seen in domestic action clinching a 2-1 victory at home against Brest, the former Roma boss has remarkably seen his side win all of their previous seven consecutive appearances across all competitions. Getting the New Year underway with another dominant display as they secured a 3-1 win away at Monaco, Lyon should also be excited by their extended success on the road. Along with winning all of their last three straight away fixtures by an aggregate score of 6-2, Fonseca's men have also won four of their previous five showdowns away from the Parc Olympique Lyonnais."
PSG have returned to the top of the Ligue 1 standings but have experienced inconsistencies this season while the race for Champions League places remains tight. Lyon are in sensational form, combining strong Europa League results with domestic momentum, including seven consecutive wins across all competitions. Lyon recently beat Brest 2-1 and won 3-1 away at Monaco, with an impressive run of away results (three straight wins by 6-2 aggregate and four wins in five away matches). Metz sit rock-bottom, are regarded as strong relegation candidates, and last lost 2-1 to Strasbourg under Benoit Tavenot.
