Lyon vs Angers preview
Lyon welcome Angers on Saturday 31 October in Ligue 1. In the standings, Angers are 15th on 7 points from 7 games and Lyon 1st on 14 points from 7 games. That puts Lyon 14 places higher. Recent results matter here: Lyon have won three of their last five (WLWDW) and Angers have lost three of their last five (LLWDL). Lyon average 1.9 goals scored and 0.7 conceded per game, compared with 1.3 and 2.1 for Angers. On expected goals we have Lyon at 2.2 and Angers at 1.1, with 1–1 the most likely score (10%).
We put over 2.5 goals at 61% and both teams to score at 55%. We make Lyon 67% to win, the draw 20% and Angers 14%, while the best bookmaker prices imply 69%, 19% and 13%. Our verdict is Over 2.5 goals: we rate it at 61%, against 61% implied by the best price of 1.64. The edge is slim at around 1%, so a small drop in the price would remove it. Prices change, and nothing in football is guaranteed.
