      Amiens vs Lyon Predictions

      Lyon began this season in flying form with nine goals scored and none conceded in their opening two games as they thrashed Monaco (3-0) and Angers (6-0). All was going great for Sylvinho’s Lyon but that momentum came to a halt as his ten men lost 1-0 to Montpellier, before another disappointment with a draw at home to Bordeaux (1-1). It looks as if the international break came at the right time for Lyon, so they could recharge their batteries.

      Lyon will be happy to see a trip to Amiens on the horizon though as they have won each of their last five clashes with the Unicorns, scoring eleven times and conceding just twice. Lyon have also generally been very good on the road, despite their recent defeat in Montpellier. They have won five of their last seven away days, scoring three times in four of these games. 

      Amiens had ten shots against Toulouse, with just one of them hitting the target in a match that saw an awful performance from the Unicorns. They only managed to muster up an xG value of 0.27 throughout the entire match and this reflects the fact that they have been the worst team in the league so far for xG, with just 2.33 created over four matches. 

      Amiens’ home form this season has been a win and a loss but with their victory being heavily aided by Lille getting a man sent off, we could see this getting rather messy for the Unicorns. Amiens only hit three shots in their last match at home against Nantes and with them hosting a much better side in Lyon, it could be a case of duck and cover for Amiens. 

      Lyon are the side we’re backing to get the win here as they have been so dominant against Amiens in the past. Lyon have also been great on the road with over 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five away games. As a result we’re backing them to score over 2.5 goals here as they face an Amiens side that conceded twice against last season’s sixth lowest scoring team before the international break. Lyon scored the second most goals last season and we’re backing them to get back to winning ways here against Amiens. Lyon have kept just two clean sheets in their last six away days though, so we’re backing this one to finish 3-1 to the visitors.
