Paris FC will face Olympique Lyonnais at the Stade Sebastien Charlety on Wednesday in the 10th round of the 2025-26 Ligue 1 campaign. The home side are back in the French top-flight after a 46-year absence and have had mixed results on their return but remain hopeful of avoiding the drop.
The newly-promoted side were beaten 2-1 by Nantes on Saturday and perhaps deserved more from the game but failed to make their dominance in possession count. They now occupy 11th place in the table with 10 points, sitting three points clear of the drop zone.
Olympique Lyonnais marked their return to action after the international break with a 3-2 away defeat to Nice but have since bounced back. They beat 10-man Strasbourg 2-1 last time out and had looked set to settle for a point following Corentin Tolisso’s first-half penalty miss before summer signing Afonso Moreira came off the bench to net a stunning 91st-minute winner.
The visitors sit fourth in the league table with 18 points and are just two points behind defending champions Paris Saint-Germain at the top of the pile.
