Lyon - St Etienne Prediction, Picks and Tips
Return of the European major leagues after the halt of selections and we focus on Ligue 1. Opening game of the day 14 that will face Lyon and Saint Etienne. We will need both teams to score in the match and have 3 or more goals in it. Lyon occupies the 4th place after a somewhat doubtful start with 24 points and a balance of 23 goals in favor and 17 against followed by his rival, Saint Etienne, who occupies the 5th place with 23 points, 19 goals in favor and 17 in against. Both sets come at a good time for the pick to come out. In the offensive aspect the Lyon has scored in the last 6 games while ST in the last 8. It is also that both teams stand out in that facet since they are the teams with the most level that it is more difficult to defend in this championship and it is a contrast that suits us well enough to see a beautiful game.
On the one hand we have Lyon, the favorite theorist to take the game but in whose quota I see no value due to the hard rival he will face. He has 17 official games this season, he has only left the goal to 0 in 4 of them (23%) while he has managed to score at least one goal in 13 (76%). Together, we would have both scored in 10 of 17 (58%) and of those 10, in 8 they would have been with 3 goals or more. Comment that 4 of the 7 parties in which we As I said I see a huge difference between the offensive and defensive power of this Lyon. Personally, I do not see Denayer and Marcelo level as for a team that wants to fight (or at least put some pressure) to PSG. Then up there are beasts like Depay, Dembele, Fekir, Terrier, Aouar, Cornet or Traore that are guaranteed to generate chances.
On the other hand we have a team that I like quite a lot like Saint Etienne. Last year they were on the verge of entering EL and although they have lost important players like Bamba, Pierre Gabriel or Pajot, they have managed to keep important players like Debuchy, M'Vila, Subotic or Cabella and bring others like Khazri, Kolo or Salibur so it has no other objective than to get the classification to Europe. Of the 13 games that it has been in this league it has received a goal in 9 of them and it has managed to score in 10. Together we see that in 8 of those 13 games we have seen the both score (61%) although only in 5 of them we have seen 3 goals or more. Therefore, match between two teams that stand out for their offensive facet due to the quality and verticality of their players and certain defensive problems so we will trust to see a match with chances and give us the necessary goals to see a green.
