Two wins in their last two matches have secured Angers’ survival in Ligue 1. They are now placed 13th and looking to finish with the same momentum when they travel to seventh-placed Lyon. Below we have a prediction for the match.
Lyon haven't been themselves since their elimination from the Europa League. In Ligue 1, that has affected their charge for Europe, and they are in danger of missing out.
A 2-0 defeat to Monaco last time out dealt their hopes a hammer blow. Now they sit outside the top six, trailing three teams above them by three points.
Four losses in the last five matches have seriously messed up their confidence going into the final day.
It is the complete opposite at Angers, who are fresh from a 2-1 win against Lyon’s opponents for Europe, Strasbourg. That was the victory that secured their spot in Ligue 1, as they achieved an unassailable 36 points.
What has also boosted Angers has been their form away from home. Their last 10 matches on the road are dotted with important wins; the most recent was at Nantes, which ended their three-game losing run on the road.
In their last four matches against Lyon, Angers posted four straight defeats, a run they will hope to end here.

Our Lyon vs Angers Prediction
Angers, on paper, should be the weaker side coming into this game. However, they have the better run of form and will be keen on shocking Lyon, who are struggling. With survival achieved, we expect Angers to play more freely, and the pressure will be on Lyon, who are chasing a European football slot.
Lyon are likely to be exposed, like it has been the case in their previous matches, so we can bank on another high-scoring game here. Our prediction for Lyon v Angers is for over 2.5 goals and both teams to score.
