Lorient vs Olympique Lyon 04.03.2022

After an important win against Brest, Lorient is two steps away from the relegation zone. Friday will see them host Lyon at Stade du Moustoir. The need to collect maximum points is huge but meeting with this Lyon side whose coming from a defeat, makes it even trickier, but it’s a fight they wouldn’t love to lose.

Meanwhile, Lyon has two losses in their last five games, and they are struggling to find form, though with a good record when visiting, with six wins out of the recent six away games.  Lyon will hope to make amends and obviously steal all three points after a disappointing loss to Lille.

We, therefore, expect to see an entertaining game with a handful of goals

Main tip: Over 1.5 Goals (go to tip details)
