Match preview: Lyon vs Angers

Lyon and Angers clash at Groupama OL Academy, Décines-Charpieu, in a crucial 34th round match of Ligue 1. In their last encounter in this competition on 07-12-2024, Olympique Lyonnais triumphed with a score of 0-3. Historically, the home team has an excellent record here, winning all three of their most recent fixtures at this stadium. The last time they met here was on 03-09-2022, in a Ligue 1 match that ended with Lyon winning 5-0. Goals came from A. Lacazette (38′), K. Toko Ekambi (31′ and 59′), M. Dembele (88′), and C. Lukeba (62′). The home advantage could be significant, as there’s a marked difference in home and away performances between the two teams.

Team analysis: Lyon

Lyon currently sits in 7th place, having secured 54 points from 16 wins, 6 draws, and 11 losses. In their last match, they suffered a 2-0 defeat to Monaco, following a home loss to Lens (1-2). Lyon is stronger on home turf, revealing a record of 10 wins, 3 draws, and 2 home losses in their last 10 league matches at their stadium. They’ve scored 35 goals while conceding 16 at home. However, they have shown defensive vulnerabilities, allowing goals in 9 out of their last 10 matches, although their attack has been consistent, scoring in 9 of those games. In 33 league matches this season, they have come from behind on 4 occasions in the 14 games where they conceded the first goal.

Olympique Lyon enters this match on the back of a 2-0 loss against Monaco and will be eager to secure a win to improve their European qualification hopes. Managed by Paulo Fonseca, they typically employ a 4-3-3 system, with Alexandre Lacazette, Rayan Cherki, and Malick Fofana as pivotal attacking figures. Lyon tends to exploit the left flank with the offensive capabilities of Nicolás Tagliafico. Unfortunately, they will be without Ernest Nuamah due to injury.

Team analysis: Angers

Currently, Angers stands in 13th position, accumulating 36 points from 10 wins, 6 draws, and 17 losses. They recently defeated Strasbourg at home (2-1), following an away win against Nantes (0-1). Strikingly, Angers has recorded better results away than at home. They have notched up 8 wins, 1 draw, and 6 losses in their last 30 away games, scoring 18 while conceding 16. Conversely, at home, they have only managed 5 wins, 2 draws, and 8 losses, netting 17 goals and conceding 28. In their last 10 league matches, Angers achieved 4 wins, 1 draw, and 5 defeats, amassing 13 points. A common score at halftime in their matches is 0-0, which occurred in 6 of their 17 league games this season. Defensively, they have struggled, with goals conceded in 8 of their last 10 league encounters. Typically, their away games feature few goals, with 13 of their last 16 fixtures ending with under 2.5 goals. Angers has conceded the first goal in 21 out of 33 matches, failing to recover on all those occasions.

The Angers side arrives at this match off the back of a 2-1 win against Strasbourg, with both goals scored by Estéban Lepaul. The visiting team usually plays in a 4-3-3 formation, emphasising offensive transitions and utilising the wings for their attacks. Jim Allevinah, Estéban Lepaul, and Lilian Raolisaa are their main attacking threats. In midfield, Himad Abdelli stands out as the key playmaker, orchestrating their offensive moves. However, they will be missing Haris Belkebla, Pierrick Capelle, and Sidiki Chérif due to injuries.
