TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

We should see a really interesting game, between those two teams who are still unbeaten in Ligue 1. Lyon’s history is a bit better though, with 4 wins and 2 draws, compared to the 2 wins and 4 draws on Bordeaux’s side.

Both team kept nearly the same players at last season, which is an explanation to their very good start. They also both have a nice mix of young talented players, and very experienced ones. If we need more similarities, we can add that they were both used to playing the Champion’s League, but after an average last season, they are playing the Europa League this year.

1X2 BET LYON - BORDEAUX PREVIEW

The odds are decent for such a tight game. Lyon’s win is set @ 2.05 with Betfair. The draw is 3.3 with William Hill, and Bordeaux to win is set @ 4.19 with Pinnacle. Lyon has made a 3 out of 3 when playing home, but they were facing poor teams: Troyes, Valenciennes and Ajacccio, who are all weaker than Bordeaux. Bordeaux has had decent results on the road, with a nice draw in the Parc des Princes against PSG.

However, the last game away was a boring 0-0 draw in Valenciennes. I would tend to back Lyon, but we have to keep in mind that the draw is just as likely, which makes it not so safe. Bordeaux also has a couple players who could make the difference at any moment such as the Polish international, Ludovic Obraniak.

ASIAN HANDICAP PREDICTIONS

The handicap is slightly better than the 1X2 market, as Lyon -0.5 is set @ 2.07 with Pinnacle, and Bordeaux +0.5 can be found @ 1.86 with 188Bet. I would put a small stake on Lyon’s squad to keep their perfect run when playing home.

TOTAL GOALS PREDICTIONS

Not many goals are expected in that game, the Under 2.5 goals being set @ 1.67 with PaddyPower, and the Over being @ 2.29 with Pinnacle. Lyon went over that cut twice in 6 games, but they were facing weak defenses, which is not what Bordeaux is going to give them. Bordeaux also went over the cut a couple times, so this should remain under it.
