Bitesize Prediction: Lorient vs Lyon – 07/09/22

Competition: Ligue 1

Market: Lyon wins

Odds: 19/20 @

Looking to extend what has been an excellent start to the 2022/23 campaign, Lyon travel to Lorient on Wednesday evening.

Starting with the hosts, when Lorient could have found themselves in the midst of a relegation slump last season, Les Merlus seem to have put those problems behind them. Last seen this weekend clinching a hard-fought 1-0 win over Ajaccio, Regis Le Bris' men have lost just one of their first five Ligue 1 games. on the way to victory after that 5-2 defeat against Lens on August 31, the Reds will be desperate to cause an upset on Wednesday evening. However, having won just three of their last nine Ligue 1 matches at home as a continuation of last season, Lorient should also be worried about their last encounter against the guests in midweek. When the two teams last met on March 4, Lyon won 4-1 at the Stade du Moustoir.

When it comes to visitors, although Lyon may have failed to clinch another European spot last season, Les Gones are in the midst of a veritable purple stain. Setting a real scorer over the weekend as they headed into a crushing 5-0 fight against Angers at home, Peter Bosz's men should find the mood in their side at a high level. Starting the 2022/23 campaign with a 2-1 win over Ajaccio at Groupama Stadium, Los Blancos have picked up 13 points in their first five Ligue 1 outings. With their eye-catching start highlighted by a 4-1 win over Troyes on 19 August, Lyon continued to receive a series of praise for their scoreless performances in the final third. By picking up this 4-1 victory on their last trip to the Stade du Moustoir, we are betting on a similar victory away on Wednesday evening.
