Lyon vs Angers Prediction

Lyon host Angers on 1 November 2026 at 19:15 in Ligue 1. Lyon are heavy favorites after winning five of their last ten home matches, though they arrive off back-to-back defeats: a 0-2 loss at PSG on 26 October and a 0-3 away defeat to Hoffenheim on 22 October. Angers have won just twice in their last ten matches across all competitions and drew 0-0 at home to Lorient on 25 October. Lyon will be without Lois Openda (foot injury), Pavel Schulz (meniscus damage), and Nicolas Taliafiko (muscle injury). Angers are missing Emmanuel Biumla (knee injury).

Form and H2H

Lyon have won five of their last ten home league matches, averaging 1.60 goals for and 1.31 against. Angers have won four of their last ten away league matches, averaging 1.40 goals for and 1.81 against. In six previous meetings, Lyon hold the edge with three wins to Angers' one, plus two draws. The most recent fixture was a 2-1 Lyon victory in April 2019. Angers have conceded at least two goals in eight of their last ten matches across all competitions. Lyon have scored more than one goal in nine of their last ten home league matches.

Best bet

Lyon under 2 goals. Lyon average 1.60 goals per game at home over their last ten league matches, well below the three-goal threshold. Angers have held opponents to two goals or fewer in eight of their last ten outings, including the recent 0-0 draw with Lorient. The absence of Openda and Schulz limits Lyon's attacking options. Angers conceded five goals each to Brest (10 October) and Marseille (18 October), but those were exceptional collapses. Lyon's moderate scoring rate combined with Angers' defensive consistency in most matches makes a Lyon total under 2 the logical play.
