Lyon vs Angers Prediction & Betting tips
Olympique Lyonnais lost the last three games against teams from the Ligue 1, while Angers has been unbeaten for six games in a row. Can the Bruno Génésio team win on Friday night?
Olympique Lyonnais:
Olympique Lyonnais is working on a very mediocre series with an elimination in the semi-final of the Coupe de France against Stade Rennais and league defeats against low-flyers Dijon and last round of play against Nantes. After a bad first half hour, Bruno Génésio let one of his star players fall behind with Memphis Depay at a 1-0 deficit, but also with the Dutchman the number three of the Ligue 1 fell 2-1 against Nantes. With six more games to go, OL’s lead on number four, arch-rival AS Saint-Étienne, is only three points and both teams also have a virtually equal goal balance, which means that the Génésio team can still play full in the remainder. of the season to secure participation in the Champions League for next season.
Next season Génésio will certainly not be there, because the coach who is already playing 176 games at the Olympique Lyonnais (95 victories, 35 draws and 46 defeats) and won no prize in Lyon will not extend his expiring contract . José Mourinho and Laurent Blanc would already be ready to fill in the trainer’s position at the top French club, but according to a statement from the club no contact has yet been made with a potential successor to Génésio.
Angers:
After five consecutive draws in the Ligue 1, Angers finally managed to grab the full booty during a visit to Caen. The only goal of the match was made by Jeff Reine-Adelaide, who was in shape, scoring for the second consecutive match (three goals in total) and a large share in the last four points that Les Scoïstes took. With six games to go, Angers has little left to play for this season, although the club that has been in existence for a hundred years this year still has a good chance of finishing in the left row, as witnessed by the good shape of the last few weeks.
Until two games ago, attacker Jeff Reine-Adelaide did not show much at Angers, but in the last two games the 21-year-old former player of Arsenal suddenly scored three times. The young Frenchman was directly involved in the final four goals of his team with three goals and an assist and seems to be the greatest danger to Olympique Lyonnais’ defense in advance. In the earlier game against Olympique Lyonnais, the young winger also made life pretty difficult for OL’s right flankers, so that Reine-Adelaide will undoubtedly have quite a few eyes on him this Friday.
