Troyes - Olympique Lyonnais betting tips and odds

Troyes are no strangers to surprises but with 4.33 on home win here, such a result would be more of a miracle rather than surprise.

The visiting side should be able to achieve victory in this clash against Troyes. Olympique Lyonnais are favourites to claim three points and at 1.80 betting odds they are a good pick for any sensible punter.

The home side is eager to bounce back from the latest Ligue 1 disappointment. Troyes suffered a disappointing Toulouse away defeat last time out and will be keen to bounce back asap. This match exposed all of their weaknesses right from the start and they need to avoid the same thing happening on Saturday.

Olympique Lyonnais’s latest home game performance was fairly dull, and it didn’t show them in a great light. That particular bout against Brest produced no winners in either half of the match, resulting in a 0:0 draw.

The hosts will be looking to cut down on the number of goals they concede. They’ve recorded more than 5 total concessions over the last 3 matches, which is usually a cause for concern.

While some teams tend to struggle as visitors, Olympique Lyonnais seem to thrive. A quick look at their recent records shows more than 5 total goals in the last 3 away games, indicating rather prolific strikers and a solid goal-scoring form.

Olympique Lyonnais won this matchup last season, leading most bookies to mark them as the favourites this Saturday. More importantly, it was a very convincing victory, and they likely won’t be satisfied with anything less than a 2-goal lead again.

The hosts are in an unenviable position either way, but a large number of reported injuries makes it even worse. Adil Rami, Abdu Conte, Ante Palaversa, Tristan Dingome, Jeff Reine-Adélaïde are all forced to sit this one out. The hurdles set in front of Troyes are considerable.

And Away Win wager here offers a nice balance between risk and reward. It’s a bit riskier than what most betting predictions usually suggest, but the 1.80 odds are worth it in terms of value.
