      Lyon vs Caen Predictions

      Caen currently sit 18th in the relegation play-off spot but they have managed to battle back in fantastic fashion recently to get in that position as seven defeats between February and April made survival look like an impossibility. They have won three of their last four games though and look on course to hop over a stagnant Monaco side. 

      They beat Reims 3-2 last week to keep the dream alive but face their biggest challenge yet with a trip to Lyon. Fabien Mercadal’s Caen side have definitely got the wind back in their sails but their recent wins have all been against rather beatable teams. That being said, they have kept four clean sheets in their last seven games so should fancy themselves as a defeat would be costly. 

      Lyon have also won three of their last four games as it looks like they will close out this turbulent season strongly. It hasn’t always gone Bruno Genesio’s way this campaign but with the Frenchman on the way out at the end of the season, the players have managed to repay him with some great results and it looks like they will guarantee Champions League qualification for next year as a result. 

      They have scored ten goals in their last four games and have scored in every match since February in what has been a display of tremendous attacking play. This has often exposed their rather fragile defence though as they have kept just two clean sheets in their last 14 games which could come back to bite them here. Lyon have won six of their last ten home games though and with them beating Caen in three of the last five meetings, les Gones definitely go into this match as favourites. 

      Caen aren’t a fantastic attacking side but with them scoring three goals in their last two clashes with Lyon and with the stakes so high, we’re backing them to hit the back of the net here. Lyon are also woeful at the back with both teams scoring in twelve of their last 14 matches. As a result, we’re going to back this market alongside a 2-1 win for Lyon.
