Angers vs Lyon Prediction & Betting Tips (7 December)

Winner on Sunday against a Le Havre team 0-1 which is none other than a direct competitor in the race to maintain, Angers has left the relegation zone. The SCO doubled its victim of the day and is now in 14th place, with one point more than the virtual barrages from Le Havre. A good operation for the Anjou club which remains in danger of relegation at the end of the season. Angers were the last Ligue 1 team to score their first victory of the season. Since this one dating back to October 26, the promoted player has gleaned 2 others over the following 4 days.

 It's been more than two months since Lyon, 5th in Ligue 1, 4 points off the podium, has not lost in the league. OL returned to competition after the November break with a draw at Reims 1-1 and a stunning success against Nice 4-1 on the final day. Between these two meetings, he crushed Qarabag 1-4 at home in the Europa League to remain well placed in the race for the round of 16. Pierre Sage's men travel to Angers with confidence. 

Angers must still take into account the injuries to its attackers Chérif (no goals in 5 appearances) and Kalumba (no matches). In addition, senior defender Hountondji, winger Ferhat and defender Sabanovic who has not yet joined a group this season in Ligue 1 are in the recovery phase and still absent. There are doubts surrounding the availability of young starting defender Biumla, who missed the last two matches and who missed training at the start of the week. Scorer in Le Havre but affected against his former club, the providential midfielder Abdelli, who now has 4 goals this season, is well suited for this new meeting. In the Lyon ranks, the former starting goalkeeper Lopes has been sidelined by Pierre Sage since the start of the year and is now number 4 in the goalkeeper hierarchy. He will be out of the group again this Saturday.

The coach can rely on a large workforce and must, therefore, not call up certain elements every weekend. Last Sunday, it was the offensive Orban and Zaha who were not in the game against Nice. Winger Benrahma, author of 2 goals in all competitions, is doubtful for the trip to Angers after being injured during this meeting. With a hat-trick, Lacazette was Lyon's X factor on Sunday. This is 8 goals scored in all competitions.
