Angers SCO - Olympique Lyonnais predictions

Angers SCO will likely try to secure a draw at most. They are outclassed by Olympique Lyonnais, plain and simple, and most bookies online agree with this – after all, the betting odds on a home win for this match are 4.87.

The most likely outcome of this match is Olympique Lyonnais walking away with three more points. That said, both a draw and a home win are still on the table, though both are relatively risky propositions.

The hosts returned home from a successful Ligue 1 trip last time out. Despite the unfavourable odds, Angers SCO pulled off a narrow Le Havre away win after a tied first half.

Olympique Lyonnais are coming on the back of a 4:1 victory in their most recent Ligue 1 game. They were the hosts in that instance, though, and the matchup against Nice was largely favourable as well. In other words – they performed as well as could be expected, but the triumph itself was nothing extraordinary.

Angers SCO fans at Stade Raymond-Kopa have seen a lot of concessions lately – 6 in the previous three matches. Hopefully, we’ll see some better play from their defenders.

The visitors are on a bit of a purple patch when it comes to scoring, with 5 goals scored in total in their latest 3 Ligue 1 matches. If the trend continues, we’re bound to see a pretty exciting game here.

With just 2 points between them and the relegation zone, Angers SCO can’t be too happy with how the season started. To make matters worse, earning new points in this match is highly unlikely.

We might be in the early stages of the Ligue 1 season but Olympique Lyonnais have made their intentions clear after 14 matches. They sit in 5th place in the standings and a win here would allow them to further boost their chances.

Zinedine Ferhat, Sidiki Cherif, Cedric Hountondji, Justin-Noël Kalumba will not be able to play for the hosts this Saturday due to various injuries. This makes their chances of coming out on top as underdogs even smaller but is important to keep in mind when considering betting odds.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 2.30. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
