Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Following a slim 1-1 draw with Brest, Olympique Lyon will be aiming to register their first triumph of the season when they take on Angers at Stade Raymond-Kopa. Les Gones continue life without new Barcelona attacker Memphis Depay, and, in his absence, a man to watch in the away team will be Moussa Dembele, who ended his loan spell with Atletico Madrid. Brazil international Bruno Guimaraes returns from international duty.
Les Scoistes, on the other hand, could not have wished for a better start to the season as they defeated Strasbourg (2-0) on the road in their opener. Stephane Bahoken, who opened his goal-scoring account at the weekend, is pushing for a start. Anyhow, away win should be considered as Lyon want this win more than Angers. You should bear in mind that les Gones emerged triumphant in each of the previous five meetings with les Scoistes.
