Unbeaten rivals clash for top spot in Paris
Second hosts third as Paris FC and Lyon look to maintain their unbeaten starts and keep pace with the league leaders.
Paris FC sit 2nd on seven points, still firmly in the title race after three games. Liam Rosenior’s side arrive with significant momentum following a 3-2 victory away at Marseille, a result defined by clinical finishing and an aggressive vertical style. They have won two and drawn one of their opening fixtures, conceding just twice in the process.
Lyon occupy 3rd place, also on seven points and trailing the leaders by just two. Paulo Fonseca’s men secured a 3-1 win over Auxerre last time out, building on an opening-day victory against Toulouse. Despite a busier schedule due to European commitments, Lyon boast one of the league's best defensive records, having allowed only two goals so far.
