Toulouse - Olympique Lyonnais predictions

Toulouse have their work cut out for them if they want to beat Olympique Lyonnais. They are widely considered to be the weaker team – though the difference is not huge, to be fair. Overall, it’s shaping up to be an exciting showdown.

The visiting team is fully aware of the challenge that lies ahead. A win against Toulouse on their home field would be a significant achievement, and it is never an easy task.

Losing is never easy, especially when you have everything working against you beforehand. Toulouse’s last Ligue 1 game saw them as $ODDS_AWAY_WIN_LAST ROUND underdogs and seeing them stick to a first-half draw already seemed surprising. They failed to keep up the pace after the break, however, losing the game in the end. Still, it was a narrow loss and that one-goal margin (HOME_LAST_ROUND_AWAY) is not something to moan too long about.

The away team won their previous game on away grounds with an impressive $RESULT goal lead. That said, they needed some time to gain momentum – the odds were not exactly in their favour before kick-off, and records show that they were still in a deadlock at halftime.

The home-pitch advantage appears to be quite important for Toulouse. Their last 3 fixtures at home were crowned by more than 5 goals in total.

With their recent performances in mind, we can expect Olympique Lyonnais to perform quite well offensively. They recorded over 5 goals in their latest 3 away games – the lack of home-field advantage isn’t a big factor for them.

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

You can safely put down an Over 2.5 Goals bet on this match and feel very confident. If the teams’ records are any indication, 3 or more goals in this match are almost guaranteed.
