Angers vs Lyon Prediction and Betting Tips | 25th February 2023ย 

Angers host Lyon at the Raymond Kopa Stadium in Ligue 1 on Saturday, looking to end their long winless run in the league.

With just 10 points in the bag from 24 games, Le SCO are at the bottom of the top-flight standings as relegation looks certain.

The western French outfit have won only twice in the 2022-23 campaign, both coming consecutively in September last year over Montpellier and Nice.

In 16 games since, Angers have lost 14 times and drawn twice, and remain 10 points adrift of safety. They've been in the top division for eight years now.

Lyon, meanwhile, haven't really covered themselves in glory either, but sit in ninth position with 35 points from 24 games.

Les Gones recently saw their four-game unbeaten run in the league end following a 2-1 loss at the hands of Auxerre, despite taking the lead in the first-half.

Moussa Dembele opened the scoring in the 36th minute for the visitors but Auxerre fired back in the second half with quickfire goals from Gaetan Perrin and Jubal.

While Lyon have been far from their best this season, Angers have simply been the worst team in the league. Unless they pull off something special here (which there's no reason to believe they would), Les Gones should win this one comfortably.
