Olympique Lyonnais - Paris Saint Germain predictions

Olympique Lyonnais are considerably weaker than their opponents in this round of the Ligue 1, and a victory for them would be quite a surprise. We wouldn’t bet on it, though – at odds of 4.10, it’s not very likely to happen.

If everything goes according to plan and Paris Saint Germain put their best foot forward we expect to see an away win in this match.

The previous round was an away game at Montpellier for Olympique Lyonnais, and the first half was a rather unimpressive showing. Things came to a head as the game progressed, however, and they more than earned the three points in a 1:4 victory.

The visiting team won their previous Ligue 1 engagement 0:1, marking another win on their away game record. That said, they were the obvious favourites in that matchup even after failing to gain the upper hand for more than half the game, so the victory wasn’t all that surprising.

We’ve seen an admirable level of consistency from Olympique Lyonnais and their goalscorers. With 5 goals spread over the last 3 matches, we can safely expect this match not to end with a nill on the scoreboard.

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.

Olympique Lyonnais have recorded mixed results so far, and bookmakers are skeptical about their odds of earning 2 points and moving up to UEFA qualification spots. They’ll have plenty of chances to try, of course, but so will the teams placed lower.

The Ligue 1 campaign is gaining momentum and Paris Saint Germain are feeling quite confident at the moment. With 56 points to their name, they sit at the very top and will be looking to keep it that way as they prepare to travel to Groupama Stadium. Top bookmakers online see them as absolute favourites to win this clash at 1.85.

Paris Saint Germain won the home game they played against Olympique Lyonnais earlier in the season, and they did so with a notable goal difference. Winning this showdown as well would firmly establish them as the better team.

Fortunately, none of the teams’ players has been injured or suspended recently. With their full lineups at their disposal, we’re in for an exciting match.

While it’s risky as far as betting predictions go, a Draw/Away bet in the Half Time/Full Time market is the best place to find betting value in this match. Simply put, the 4.10 odds outweigh the relatively small implied probability.
