Troyes vs Lyon Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in French Ligue 1 on Saturday, 4 February 2023.
Lyon are placed comfortably in the mid-table as of now, and have been much more consistent lately – compared to their first half of their season.
Meanwhile, Troyes have been a total mess. They are struggling to stay above the relegation cut-off, and have a single win at home all through the campaign.
The reverse fixture ended in a 4-1 win for Lyon, and importantly they are on a ten-game winning streak against this opponent. They also won 13 of the past 14 clashes, and they lost just once against this rival since 2000.
Not only are Lyon comparatively performing at a much higher level than Troyes this season, but they also have a phenomenal h2h record over the years. I mean, an active ten-fixture winning streak in h2h clashes is just the stuff of legendary teams.
On top of that, Troyes last recorded a win in any competition four months back – while their last and only win this season at home came back in August.
The inference is that Lyon will continue their domination over this opponent one more game week.
Troyes conceded four or more goals in two of their past three fixtures, and they let in two or more goals in five of their past six games. Meanwhile, Lyon scored twice or more in all but one of their road trips after the World Cup.
It appears that we are in line for another high-scoring affair this Saturday.
Not once have Lyon let in a goal on the road in 2023 so far, and they even kept clean sheets in three of the past five h2h meetings. The struggling Troyes will find it hard to slot in a goal this weekend, against the in-form defense of the guests.
Lyon are on a ten-fixture winning streak against this opponent, including a 4-1 win this same season. They also have a 100% unbeaten record on the road after the World Cup, while Troyes have a single win to their name at home this season in all competitions.
In fact, going back to December of 2021, they managed to register just three wins at this venue. And to top all that off, they are hanging by a thread over the relegation cut-off.
By all means Lyon are the favorites for this weekend. And a win for them is placed at 1.83 odd.
Going on, they scored four goals in the latest h2h encounter, and scored thrice or more in five of the past six h2h clashes. Do also note that they scored two or more goals in eight of the previous ten h2h battles.
In addition, Troyes let in 10 goals from their past three overall games combined as well.
As such, the Over 1.5 Team Goals by Lyon looks like a promising wager, at an odd of 1.67.
