Lyon vs St Etienne Predictions

• Lyon have won three of their last six home games
• St Etienne’s away record is four defeats and a draw from five attempts
• Since March, only high-flying Monaco and Marseille have won at Lyon in the league

Lyon primed to bounce back

Lyon may have gone without a win in their last four games, but they are strong favourites to return to form in this fixture.

The Kids, who drew 2-2 at Hoffenheim in the Europa League on Thursday, have a strong record at home, where they have lost only two of nine league fixtures since early March.

Five of those matches have ended in victory, including against Strasbourg and Nantes this season, while they are unbeaten in home head-to-heads with St Etienne since 2014.

St Etienne can’t buy an away win

That is bad news for the visitors, who arrive at Parc Olympique Lyonnais with one of the worst away records in Ligue 1.

Since their promotion back to the top flight in the summer, the Greens have lost four times in five attempts on the road, including an embarrassing 8-0 mauling at the hands of Nice.

Indeed, Olivier Dall’Oglio’s side have conceding a league-high of 19 goals on their travels, and even lost 4-2 to struggling Angers in their last away trip.

I predict that Lyon will win this game, with 3-0 my correct score predicton.
