Angers vs Olympique Lyon Prediction and Betting Tips | December 7th 2024

Angers will host Olympique Lyonnais at the Stade Raymond Kopa on Saturday in another round of the 2024-25 Ligue 1 campaign. The home side have had their struggles upon returning to the French top flight but remain hopeful of survival as they sit 14th in the table with 13 points from 13 matches.

They picked up a narrow but well-deserved 1-0 win over Le Havre in their last match, with team captain Himad Abdelli scoring the sole goal of the game just after the hour mark.

Olympique Lyonnais, meanwhile, are in fine form at the moment and are pushing for a return to the Champions League. They cruised to a 4-1 home win over Nice in their last match, with veteran striker Alexandre Lacazette netting a brilliant hat-trick alongside a first-half strike from former Roma man Jordan Veretout.

The visitors sit fifth in the league table with 22 points from 13 matches and will be looking to continue their strong run of results on Saturday.
