Lyon vs Amiens Prediction & Betting tips
Earlier this season, Amiens secured a point in-house against Olympique Lyonnais. Can’t the Luka Elsner team also lose a visit to Lyon?
Olympique Lyonnais:
Olympique Lyonnais had a strong start to 2020 with seven victories in a row, but last weekend Rudi Garcia’s team went to visit Olympique Nice. Last Thursday, the Allianz Riviera still won 2-1 in the eighth finals of the Coupe de France, but les Gones had a harder time in the competition. At halftime it was 1-1 and both teams were only ten on the field, a situation with which Olympique Nice managed to get along better in the second half. Despite the eighth defeat of the season, Olympique Lyonnais is still in shared sixth place, but the backlog in third place, which is good for participating in the preliminary round of the Champions League at the end of the season, has now risen to eight points.
In the competition, les Gones do not have to have the in-house performance this season. Although Garcia’s team collected only six hits at home, there were only fourteen goals, half of them in the first two home games of the season. In the last four home games in all competitions, the team from Lyon managed to score at least two twice. Striker Moussa Dembélé is also in blood form and winter acquisition Karl-Toko Ekambi makes a good impression, so most likely the home team will score on Wednesday evening in the Parc Olympique Lyonnais.
Amiens:
With five defeats and two draws in the last seven games, Amiens has not left a good impression in recent weeks. Last Saturday, the Licornes class was somewhat better at home than Toulouse, but disappointingly was scored with a 0-0 score, meaning that the number 18 of the Ligue 1 could not give up any further distance from the last places. Because Nîmes Olympique, the number nineteen in the ranking, managed to win, the lead of les Licornes in nineteenth place is just a point and therefore the Elsner team seems to be increasingly in degradation danger.
Just as Olympique Lyonnais should not be home this season, so does Amiens. Elsner’s team achieved only thirteen points in-house, but performed even worse in away games with only six points from eleven away games. The last five away games in the Ligue 1 were all lost with at least two goals, but in four of those five games, Elsner’s team also scored. On the offensive side it seems to be good with Amiens, which hit the target 24 times this season, but on the defensive side the team seems to be too light this season for the Ligue 1.
