Olympique Lyonnais - Brest predictions

Though Olympique Lyonnais are the favourites between these two teams, this is a fairly balanced matchup. All three possible outcomes of a Result bet are quite possible, which at least means we may get to see an exciting game.

Brest appear severely unprepared for a clash with Olympique Lyonnais, to the point of being considered hard underdogs. We would consider even a draw a success, so the long 3.53 odds for an away win bit seem fitting.

The 3.52 betting odds singled out Olympique Lyonnais as the favourites in their previous matchup, if only by a small margin. Playing as visitors, they fell behind before halftime, which had some supporters concerned. As the game progressed, however, they bounced back and scored several times in a row, eventually winning 1:3.

The away team’s victory in the previous round can be called routine, all things considered. They had home-field advantage, after all, and most $LEAUGE betting odds were decidedly in their favour. Records show that they were leading at halftime as well, which makes their dominance of that matchup all the more complete.

Olympique Lyonnais are on a bit of a streak when it comes to scoring. With more than 7 over their last 3 matches, fans are feeling fairly confident in their goal-scoring ability. Likewise, bookmakers online are fairly confident the Sunday match will yield Over 4.5 goals.

Looking over the visitors and their recent history, we noticed they’ve scored more than 5 goals in their previous 3 appearances. This signals a consistent ability to score in most matchups, which is good news for their supporters.

With a 2nd table position, Brest are one of the most successful teams in the season so far. There’s still a bit of time for things to change, though, and they don’t seem likely of moving up to the top spot.

We already saw these two teams clash this season, and Brest carried off a narrow home win. The roles are reversed this time, however, and the betting odds are marking Olympique Lyonnais as somewhat more likely to win.

Despite being seen as underdogs by most online bookmakers, the visiting team will be able to give their all this Sunday. They have no reported injuries or suspensions going in, so at least they’ll be able to rely on their best players and strategies.

This match is a bit strapped for low-risk options that don’t completely ruin the betting value side of things. With that in mind, we suggest going for a Draw/Draw Half Time/Full Time bet. It’s risky, but the payout is worth it.
