Bordeaux vs Lyon Predictions, Tips & Predictions

Bordeaux v Lyon
France Ligue 1
Date: Friday, September 11, 2024
Starts at 20pm UK / 00pm CET
Location: Matmut Atlantique (Bordeaux).

Bordeaux will face Lyon in the Ligue 1 fixture on Friday night as the French season resumes after a break of nearly two weeks.

The home team started the season undefeated after starting the campaign 0-0 at home to Nantes and after beating Angers 2-0 away. It was Angers' result that impressed many, bearing in mind that Angers are not always easy to beat at the Stade Raymond Kopa. Bordeaux are currently second in the league and have yet to concede a goal.

Lyon are eighth but have only played once and it was a great game for the club after their disappointing Champions League exit in the semi-finals. Lyon beat Dijon 4-1. Memphis Depay scored a hat-trick in that game, but Barcelona have knocked on the door and it looks certain that the talented midfielder will join them. Officially, he is still a Lyon player, but he seems unlikely to play at the weekend if his head is turned, and that could be a serious blow for the club.

Face to face and past meetings

Last season in the league, Lyon won this game 2-1.

In the last 8 league games, both teams scored.

Bordeaux have only beaten Lyon once at home in their last 4 attempts.

This is an accessory that has a great card display history.

Bordeaux vs Lyon Prediction

Bordeaux failed to impress at home in the first game but showed maturity in the next. We believe that Lyon may have problems away from home this season, but they will be very strong at home. They have yet to come together as a team, and this could be a tough game for them, even if they have the best team by weight.

There have been some off-pitch moments with the club regarding Depay's future. We believe that Bordeaux can provide them with a very difficult game and we hope that the hosts will win.
