Angers vs Lyon Prediction: A straight win for Lyon

The first match to be played on Saturday of Ligue 1 Week 25 of Ligue 1 sees Angers take on Lyon at the Stade Jean Bouin. Angers have 10 points from the 24 matches played and are bottom of the Ligue 1 table while Lyon have 35 points from the 24 matches played. Angers have not won a match considering the last 6 matches played in Ligue 1. Based on current form and historic matches played, a win is expected for the away team.

Angers are having a tough time in Ligue 1 as evidenced by the 16 consecutive matches without a win (spanning from September 2022). A look into this run reveals that Angers suffered 14 losses and 2 draws and this is the reason the team is bottom of the league table. Although a new coach arrived, it has not yet had any impact.

A look at the matches played this season shows Angers have won 2, drawn 4, and lost 18 matches. Angers have scored 20 goals and conceded 50 in the 24 matches played in Ligue 1.

Lyon on the other hand are having a mixed season. The team was enjoying a good run with 4 wins and 1 draw until a surprise loss to 18th-place Auxerre last week. A win to regain momentum will be the focus for Lyon.

This season, Lyon have scored 36 goals but conceded 27 in the 24 Ligue 1 matches played. Away from home, Lyon have scored 17 and conceded 17 in the 12 matches played.

Lyon are playing to qualify for a place in a European club competition next season and will be playing for the win to increase their chances of achieving this. Against Angers, it is difficult not to see Lyon win even when playing away from home. With Angers winning only 3 of the 27 matches played in all competitions, a straight win is expected for Lyon.
