Our Predictions
Lyon’s consistency at home and their recent wins suggest they’ll edge this. Odds favor Lyon, and a low-scoring game fits Lyon’s strong defense and Angers’ struggles to score away. It’s a safe bet for those expecting a tight, cautious clash.
A tight game with both sides capable of scoring, especially if Angers adopts a more open approach. Odds on a draw combined with goals from both sides make this a tempting longer shot—more dramatic, but plausible given recent form.
Angers might take risks in pursuit of points, especially if Lyon allows space. Their attacking potential, evidenced in recent matches, means they can net at least once. Higher odds but worth considering if an upset is on the cards.
