Lyon vs Angers Prediction & Betting Tips (19 September)

Olympique Lyonnais has just taken its first goals and wiped its first defeat after having chained successes against Lens 0-1, Metz 3-0 and Marseille 1-0. Yet ahead of the score in Rennes, the Rhone club, in numerical inferiority from the last quarter of an hour, saw its opponent return to equality and take off in additional time 3-1. This first hitch relegates OL in 4th place, 3 points from the Parisian leader. The players of Paulo Fonseca want to resume their march forward, a fortiori before starting the Europa League campaign next Thursday against Utrecht. A candidate for maintenance, Angers draws up halftone results on the start of the fiscal year. The SCO has not won since a successful ball opening against a promoted, Paris FC 1-0.

This was followed by a short defeat on the lawn of PSG 1-0 and the sharing of points with Rennes 1-1 before the international break and Metz 1-1 last Sunday. This ultimate outing saw the Angevins snatch the point from the draw at the end of the suspense. The Anjou club takes few goals, but does not score much. It is 12th in Ligue 1 after the first 4 days. 

Paulo Fonseca is generally spared from injuries, although Nuamah and Orel Mangala continue their convalescence. However, the Portuguese coach regrets composing his group without the Morton recruit to the status of holder in the midfield. The player arrived from Liverpool was excluded in Rennes. The offensive sector lacked creativity in the last match, in the first place the virtuoso Fofana (1 goal) which had nothing to put in the tooth. The Czech recruits Karabec and Sulc (1 goal each) can occupy the point of the attack while waiting for Satriano to be ready to enter the eleven. The position is vacant after the prejudicial departure of Mikautadze in Villarreal at the end of the transfer window. Descamps should retain its status as a holder in order to the Dam of Greif, initially come to Lyon to recover the place of number 1. The SCO d'Angers is almost complete for this perilous trip.

Only the Alvinah winger who became a replacement was missing at Metz. To see him return to the competition this Friday is not a certainty a week after Abdelli has treated his return to competition. Staying at the club this summer and restored with an injury, the attacking midfielder has scored the penalty of equalization in Metz. Angers competes for this exercise without the Lepaul offensive size, transferred to Rennes in the last moments of the transfer market. Alexandre Dujeux can now only count on young Peter (1 goal) and machine to occupy the tip of the attack. Peter was also established in the last 2 games. 

• Summary: Olympique Lyonnais is going head to head with Angers starting on 19 Sept 2025 at 18:45 UTC at Groupama Stadium stadium, Lyon city, France. The match is a part of the Ligue 1 .
