In the last ten head to head matches, a total of 33 goals were scored at an average of 3.3 goals per match and over 3 goals were scored in six of those matches. In the last nine matches that Paris Saint Germain had played across all competitions, over 3 goals were scored in five of those matches. Lyon on the other hand have seen over 3 goals in seven of the last ten matches that they have played across competitions. Also, over 3 goals were scored in four of the last five matches that Lyon has played on the road.
