Prediction: 3-1
Angers
Lyon will be aiming to recover from a 3-1 loss to Rennes when they face Angers in the Ligue 1 round 5. Les Gones want to keep their 100% record at home intact and they are likely to adopt an attack-oriented approach in Friday’s game. Midfielder Tyler Morton is banned for the match, while all Nuamah, Mangala, and Descamps are sidelined with injuries. Les Scoistes, on the other hand, aim to put an end to their three-game winless run.
Angers are not regarded as good travellers and given Lyon’s fine performances at Parc Olympique Lyonnais in the early stages of the season, home win should definitely be considered this time out. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team, but Himad Abdelli could sneak into the starting XI after scoring a late equalizer in a 1-1 draw with Metz at the weekend.
Highlighted Team (Lyon):
Commonly referred to as Lyon, Olympique Lyonnais is the French club which play their games at the Parc Olimpique Lyonnais with a capacity just a pinch short of 60,000. Lyon is one of the most popular clubs in France with a vast fan base on par with Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique de Marseille.
The club achieved moderate success during the 1960s and 1970s led by the likes of Bernard Lacombe and Jean Djorkaeff, while the golden era of the French side came at the start of the new millennium when Lyon began to achieve greater success both in France and on the international level.
It was not until 2002 that Lyon won their first ever Ligue 1 title which sparked an ongoing national record-breaking streak of seven successive titles. During that time Lyon were regular participants of the UEFA Champions League. The French club reached quarter-finals on two occasions, while they even played in the semi-finals in the 2009-10 season.
