In a bid to advance closer to the coveted French crown, Paris Saint-Germain is poised to host Lyon, who are vying for European glory, at the Parc des Princes for a thrilling Ligue 1 encounter come Sunday evening.

The Parisians basked in a memorable triumph in the Champions League midweek, whereas their counterparts, Les Gones, enter this showdown fresh from a pulsating seven-goal spectacle against Brest in their previous outing.

Driven by the desire to clinch their maiden Champions League title, Kylian Mbappe and his PSG cohorts secured a spot in this season's semifinals with a resounding 4-1 triumph over La Liga champions Barcelona on Tuesday night at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys. However, the journey didn't commence on smooth terrain for the visitors.

Despite holding a slender one-goal lead from the initial encounter, the Catalan outfit swiftly doubled their aggregate advantage as former Leeds United star Raphinha found the back of the net in the 12th minute. Yet, Les Parisiens orchestrated a breathtaking turnaround to prolong their European campaign, with goals from Ousmane Dembele and Vitinha complementing Mbappe's brace.

Shifting focus back to domestic affairs in Ligue 1, Luis Enrique's men endured a significant setback in their latest league fixture, settling for a draw against bottom-dwellers Clermont Foot on April 6. A late strike from Goncalo Ramos salvaged a point for them after a surprising opener from Habib Keita had put them on the back foot.

Despite this, Les Parisiens managed to extend their Ligue 1 winning streak to an incredible 23 games. They may be able to win the French championship on Sunday night, as they are currently 10 points ahead of second-place Brest, who play third-place Monaco this weekend.

PSG has not performed particularly well at the Parc des Princes in Ligue 1 this season, winning only eight of their 14 league games in front of their home fans in the French capital and losing six times. Despite their imminent position as champions.

Lyon successfully prolonged their undefeated run in Ligue 1 to five matches this past Sunday, as Les Gones emerged triumphant in a thrilling seven-goal spectacle against second-positioned Brest at Groupama Stadium, significantly undermining the visitors' aspirations of rivalling PSG for the league crown.

In a riveting clash marked by intense moments - including dismissals for players on both sides - Lyon found themselves trailing 3-1 with less than 20 minutes remaining. However, goals from Alexandre Lacazette and Nicolas Tagliafico, along with an Ainsley Maitland-Niles converted penalty, enabled the hosts to snatch all three points.

Having garnered a total of 13 points from their recent five encounters in Ligue 1 since the onset of March, Pierre Sage's squad has ascended to the seventh spot in the league standings. They now trail sixth-placed Lens by merely two points, with a gripping conclusion to the top-flight campaign looming, comprising five remaining matches.

Spearheading Lyon's offensive prowess, former Arsenal striker Lacazette has been the primary contributor, having found the back of the net 15 times in 24 Ligue 1 appearances for his team thus far in the 2023-24 season. This places him at the forefront of his club's Golden Boot competition, ahead of center-back Jake O'Brien, who has registered four goals.

Paris Saint-Germain continues to be without the contribution of central defender Presnel Kimpembe, who is anticipated to remain sidelined until the conclusion of the month due to an Achilles injury.

The defensive lineup of Les Parisiens faces additional constraints with the non-availability of Layvin Kurzawa, the left-back who has participated in merely one league match this season due to a back problem.

Possible modifications might be in store from the lineup that initiated the triumph against Barcelona on Tuesday, with the likes of Mbappe and Dembele potentially being rested.

Following his dismissal towards the end of the victory against Brest in the previous outing, left-back Tagliafico won't be an option for selection at Parc des Princes on Sunday.

Consequently, Lyon will need to designate a fresh starter for the left side of their quartet defense, with Brazilian Henrique Silva emerging as the most fitting choice.
