Lyon vs Angers Prediction & Betting tips
Lyons and Angers scored clearly victories in Ligue 1’s opening campaign. Olympique defeated AS Monaco 3-0 away and the Westers made it 3-1 at home to Girondins Bordeaux.
Olympique still takes the clear role of favorite in the Lyon against Angers odds. An assessment followed by the tip. The Gones squad is superior to Angers and OL builds on the home advantage.
However, Lyon – Angers is unlikely to provide value for home running thanks to lower prices. For this reason, the forecast is extended to include top striker Moussa Dembele.
The 23-year-old was the top scorer in the Lyon jersey last season and his scoring has not diminished over the summer. Just lasted five minutes Dembele last weekend to einzotetzen again.
Lyon:
The seven-time champion, most recently eleven years ago, ranked third in last season’s final table: Lyon repeated Lyon’s performance from the previous season.
Since the last title, which closed a still unique series of seven won championships, the Gones always took a place among the top 5 in Ligue 1 a.
It is clear from this record that Olympique is always among the best teams in the top French league and this will certainly not change this year. At the start against Monaco ever succeeded a befitting 3: 0 success.
Although the relegation for Cesc Fabregas played in the first half of the Lyoners in the hands, but the generally strong performances should not diminish this. That Olympique resembles very solid again, was not necessarily expected. The reason are various painful departures in the summer break.
Lyon sold among others Tanguy Ndombele (Tottenham Hotspur), Ferland Mendy (Real Madrid) and Nabil Fekir (Betis Sevilla). The names of the customers alone illustrate how much quality was lost. At the same time, the sale of the aforementioned trio delivered an amount of just under 130 million euros, which makes the fund at least well filled.
Of the millions, the defensive was strengthened. With the Dane Joachim Andersen of Sampdoria and Thiago Mendes and Youssouf Kone of league rivals Lille were committed to three powerful defensive players. A wise move, with Lyon scoring the most goals in the top four of Ligue 1 this season.
With Ndombele also a central midfielder was delivered, who often worked on the defensive, which is why the newbies are needed from this angle. Given the defense reinforcements and manageable offensive quality of the coming opponent, the odds for a clean sheet of Gones are also interesting at Lyon against Angers.
Brazilian coach Sylvinho, who inherited Bruno Genesio last May, suggested an equally attractive offer to work as a U-23 coach in his home country through his involvement with OL.
So far, the 45-year-old but only as an assistant coach in Brazil and Italy worked. His abilities as a player have of course been excellent, as evidenced by his list of employers, including names like FC Barcelona and Arsenal FC. Whether Sylvinho acts as a coach at this level, will still be revealed.
Evidently, the South American can still go on the offensive, despite the departure of Nabil Fekir, who was involved in 14 league goals this past season. After PSG she had in the past season, the second best record and especially the Under-21 international Moussa Dembele is as mentioned at the beginning already back in Torlaune.
Angers:
For the first time in more than 20 years, the Black and Whites returned to the Beletage of French football in 2015. Since then, Angers moved inconspicuously in midfield – only in the first season, it was enough for a single-digit placement.
The funds are rather modest at the club, which celebrates its 100th anniversary this year, which is why a similar balance sheet is expected in 2019/20. The scooters also have a completely orphaned trophy collection.
The greatest successes have so far been two finals in the domestic Coupe de France and a third place in the league. The latter placement is already more than half a century back. Coach Stephane Moulin is unlike his counterpart on the side of Lyon but a real veteran.
The 52-year-old Frenchman has been training Angers for about eight years and worked as a black and white player in the 1980s. Moulin enjoyed a 3-1 win against Girondins Bordeaux last weekend. The success is indeed from a playful point of view in order, but fell by a goal too high.
Bordeaux played for long stretches of the game as an equal opponent. In addition, Angers had to pull an important player in the summer. We are talking about attacking midfielder Flavien Tait. The 26-year-old scored the second most goals in the SCO in the recent season and shone mainly by seven assists – best score at Angers.
After three years with the black and white Tait is now in the service of the Cup winner Stade Rennes. Defender Angelo Fulgini is also unable to play due to a groin injury from the preparation phase.
