Sochaux v Lyon predictions and betting tips

Sochaux are expected to fight against relegation this season. Their first match was a tie 1-1 away to Evian TG. Sochaux had around 44% possession and lost the total shots and shots on target stats, but they were effective at creating goal scoring opportunities from long shot situations and dominated the aerial duels. Their best player was Contout that played left midfield, he was also their goal scorer and man of the match.

Lyon are expected to fight in the top of the league this season, most likely behind PSG and Monaco, but on level for third place with Marseille. Lyon won their first match of the season 4-0 at home to Nice. Nice actually had the most possession in that match, but they made a high number of individual errors, and Lyon were effective on counter attacks and strong at finishing. Their best player and man of the match was Gourcuff, the attacking left midfielder that also scored their fourth goal.

Sochaux v Lyon predictions

This fixture last season ended in a draw 1-1. Lyon had 53% possession and it was 5-5 shots on goal. Last five encounters have resulted in two wins for each team and one draw, three of the matches ended with three goals, two of the matches with two goals. In the longer run, Lyon have won twenty out of thirty matches, and they are undefeated in ten of the last eleven away matches against Sochaux.

For Lyon, Gourcuff was doubtful earlier this week due to knee injury, but he has cleared the examinations and will be in the squad on Friday. Lyon have few players out, only Ghezzal and Dabo with injuries and Umtiti due to suspension. For Sochaux, Traore and Lopy are out due to injuries. Butin and Roudet were doubtful after the Evian match, but they have recovered and are in the squad – meaning their squad will be very similar to their previous match.
Lyon are clearly the best team and in the best form. Neither team is great at keeping possession, Sochaux’ main strength lies in aerial duels and this is a weak point for Lyon, but Lyon’s strong counter attacks and direct free kicks will prove too much for Sochaux.
