Our Verdict
The draw or away double chance represents the strongest angle here. Both previous meetings finished level, and Lyon's second-place standing reflects a side built to compete on the road. Paris have been solid at home with three wins from their last five, yet their inconsistency, including a defeat in that run, tempers confidence in the hosts. The away price at 2.45 offers genuine value given Lyon's pedigree, while the draw at 3.40 aligns neatly with the head-to-head pattern. Our pick: X2.
