Lyon are the massive favourites on Sunday in a Ligue 1 round six match against Angers at Groupama Stadium this coming Saturday. Angers lost 3-2 against Lyon in their latest encounter. This served as pay back for the 3-0 defeat, Angers handed out in the match before.

Sitting bottom of the table, Angers have claimed two points after five rounds, while Lyon have amassed ten points. This places the latter as number four in the Ligue 1 at the moment.

Angers must be frustrated and desperate for points after a series of defeats this Ligue 1 season. Their upcoming game against Lyon provides them with another good chance to get back to winning ways.

Lyon scored 25 goals, conceded 14, and pulled off one clean sheet in their past ten matches.

Angers are currently decent goalscorers, as they managed a bearable 14 goals in the past ten outings for an average of 1.4 goals a game. Their opponents scored a total of 18 goals, and while Angers claimed two clean sheets, they conceded an average of 1.8 goals per match.

Lyon vs Angers Prediction

In their last three matches, Lyon won 4-1 against Troyes, before settling for a point in a 1-1 draw against Reims. They were back on top last time out, defeating Auxerre 2-1. Lyon took six wins in their last six Ligue 1 matches on home soil, as they scored 22 and let in eight goals.

They were spoken of as contenders for medals before the season, and Lyon are living up to expectations.

Angers endured a tough spell in their last three matches, from which they have nothing to show. They were beaten 1-3 by Brest, before Troyes ran out 3-1 winners. A third defeat on the trot followed against Reims, who came out 2-4 winners. Angers came through their last six away games in the Ligue 1 without a single win. Of those six matches, they drew three and lost three in which, they were outscored by 11 goals to six.

Few people saw Angers at the fun end of the table this season, but they are displaying a great form right now.

Lyon should be too strong against Angers to drop any points, and combining this with over 2.5 goals, ups the price on the expected home win at Groupama Stadium.
