Ligue 1 Picks Round 24

PSG vs Lyon. Even with the vast disparity in wealth between the two clubs, by most measures this should always be first against second in Ligue 1. The fact that the visitors are in sixth, is a damning indictment on what is turning out to be a bit of a shambolic season for Lyon. Rudi Garcia’s men are barely hanging on in the race for Champions League qualification, but a defeat at the home of the champions coupled with Rennes beating Brest is likely to end that quest. Can Lyon do anything to stop the inevitable? Even if Rudi Garcia devises a plan to stifle PSG’s attack, I just can’t see Les Gones having the mental fortitude to withstand any sort of pressure for too long. Time for my picks.
