Lorient vs Lyon Prediction & Betting Tips - Ligue 1
by Nella Wagah | in Ligue 1 Prediction
On the back of a crushing defeat, Lyon will be seeking to immediately bounce back when they visit Lorient in Ligue 1. Hosts Lorient start this game three places above the relegation playoff spot while Lyon are two places higher. Lorient’s shock 2-1 win over Rennes lifted them to 25 points, two ahead of Montpellier, the side in the relegation playoff spot. It has been a good few weeks for Lorient, and that win was a good bounce after a home loss to Nantes. They now have four wins in their last six matches, a run that has enabled them rise from the relegation zone. Their consistency in attack has also been remarkable, Lorient failing to score in just one of their last six games. As they go into this game, Lorient will be boosted by the fact they are unbeaten in three matches against Lyon. They were impressive in the reverse fixture, coming from behind to draw 3-3. Lorient have one win in those three matches against Lyon. Here, their home form will be a major concern though. They’ve managed just one win in seven home matches.
Lyon will go into this game on 28 points, in 11th place. Their march to the top half was halted with a shock 3-0 home loss to Lens. It didn’t end really well for Les Gones as they had to finish the game with 10 men following Ainsley Maitland-Niles’ sending off. That defeat brought to an end Lyon’s six-game unbeaten run. A run of six wins in 10 matches will however be a positive to look back to as they seek to rise again. The downside for Lyon will be that Lorient has been tough for them to beat. They’ve managed just two wins in the last nine meetings with Lorient. Pierre Sage’s side has 28 points from 24 matches, lifted from the relegation region after a great run that brought out their real quality. Coming into this game they have three straight away wins, a run they will bank on here. They have lost just once in the last six away matches in all competitions.
