Paris Saint-Germain lost their first domestic match in 47 outings last Sunday as Lyon shocked the capital club with a 2-1 victory at their new Parc Olympique Lyonnais home.

PSG had not lost for 36 games in Ligue 1 – a run stretching back almost 12 months – but the French champions’ hopes of an invincible season were destroyed by first-half goals from Maxwel Cornet and Sergi Darder.

Les Gones could and should have won by a more handsome margin as Bruno Génésio’s produced a rampant, polished, all-action performance.

The hosts forced the Parisians into mistakes by pressing high and launching devastating counter-attacks and made amends for their four previous defeats already suffered to the runaway league leaders this term.

It was Lyon’s fourth win in five and takes Les Gones back into the Champions League places. Now, they’ll be looking to pocket three more points and enhance their unbeaten streak (W4-D1-L0) at their new home when Guingamp arrive.

The hosts have been victorious in nine of their last 10 when welcoming bottom-six sides to the city as well as eight of their 14 fixtures when Ligue 1 opposition has come to town this term.

Six of those eight successes have been achieved by a two-goal margin and going back further, 16 of their most recent 22 home wins have also been secured by at least two goals. With that in mind, backing Lyon off -1 handicap start makes plenty of appeal at 2.25 quotes.

Lyon’s shots-on-target ratio figure on home soil – their share of the total shots-on-target – is well above 61%, the third best in the division. And Les Gones average of over six shots-on-target per-game as hosts isn’t too far behind PSG’s league-best tally.

Guests Guingamp have been beaten in 18 of their 33 road trips since the start of last season whilst their record at top-half teams in that time reads W2-D2-L12, as they’ve failed to score on seven occasions.

EAG are likely to suffer similar fate here with only Troyes, Gazalec and Lorient facing more on-target efforts on their travels despite previously only visiting PSG from the current top-three.

Jocelyn Gourvennec’s group are unlikely to be able to cope with the goalmouth bombardment and having failed to net in eight of their 14 away days already in 2015/16, it wouldn’t be a huge surprise if they slumped to a two-goal defeat.
