PSG underwent several changes in the offseason, including a change of coach. Jocelyn Prêcheur took charge of London City Lionesses while Fabrice Abriel left FC Fleury to join the capital club. PSG also recorded the arrival of new players such as Mary Earps, Romée Leuchter and Jennifer Echegini. Conversely, the Parisian team let go of key players like Sandy Baltimore and Tabitha Chawinga, now from Lyon.
On the pitch, PSG started its season well in the Arkema Premier League with 5 victories in as many matches. Fabrice Abriel's players, however, failed in the Champions League by being eliminated by Juventus (cumulative score: 5-2) during the qualifying play-offs.
But Paris knows Lyon quite well by heart. They have already faced each other 42 times with Lyon's record of 30 wins, 8 draws and 4 defeats for 85 goals scored for OL compared to 18 for PSG.
The challenge for PSG remains not to lose first place in the standings.
