Lyon vs Angers Prediction and Expert Tips

Lyon vs Angers Match Preview

The celebrated beginning of Lyon with three consecutive victories was not sustained as the team could only yield a disappointing 3-1 loss to Rennes in round four of Ligue 1. It was widely anticipated to be a game that will be claimed by Lyon but the outcome was not only different, its unimpressive. Recovery is needed and its not too late for sure.

Paulo Fonseca experimented with the same 4-2-3-1 formation in all the four matches. But that which worked perfectly well in the first three performed absolutely poorly in the fourth. The defense did not get any time to relax as Rennes were taking back-to-back shots. So here is something for Fonseca to mend and the golden opportunity for them arrives in the form of fifth match against struggling Angers team.

We described Angers’ struggling not because they are losing consecutive matches. They began the season with a win but their following three matches had them losing a game and two draws. Now, to win is the most difficult job for the team and it will be even more difficult this Friday as they will face Lyon. The history also makes things crystal clear for the Lyon side as they have won the last five consecutive matches against Angers. An eight-game home unbeaten run against Angers puts everything rightfully in their favor for Lyon on Friday.

Lyon vs Angers Prediction

Though the overall winning streak of Lyon came to an end in the fourth round, their home run is yet to end. Two clean sheet victories at the beginning with their attack scoring four goals, indicates their spirits and strength at home. It just did not end there. Lyon after that comes in with a six-game unbeaten run in all competitions.

But Angers lost to PSG and drew 1-1 with Metz in their two Ligue 1 away trips at the beginning. Being unbeaten in eight of the previous 10 away trips makes it even tougher for the Angers team here. And Lyon have beaten the same Metz scoring 3 consecutive goals.

Lyon will be ready to restore their winning streak back and at home, they have a series of victories to be able to give spirits. Despite the unpredictability, Angers defense have been able to be tight in not conceding more than 1 goals in any of the matches they have taken part in so far this season. We believe that trend will stop here, but still an entertaining scorefest is not coming to our mind.
