Football – France – Ligue 1 Betting Tips
Friday night also brings us a top half clash between Lyon and Saint-Etienne as the betting tips continue in the French top flight.
Just one point separates these two sides as they face off at the Groupama Stadium with not only three points at stake but a chance to lift themselves into the top three of Ligue 1 ahead of the rest of the weekend’s fixtures.
Lyon have won three of their last four with wins against Nimes, Angers SCO and Guingamp along with a point shared against Bordeaux, while their home record stands at a fairly solid looking 4-2-1 12/5.
The hosts have scored in all but one of their 7 home matches to date while the likes of midfielder Aouar (5 goals) and forwards Depay (5 goals), Traore (4 goals) and Dembele (3 goals) have all notched this season.
Saint-Etienne sit just one league place and one point adrift of Lyon ahead of this important Friday night fixture in Ligue 1 as they go in search of a third successive league win following recent back-to-back wins against Angers SCO and Reims.
The visitors also bring a four-match unbeaten run into this clash with draws gained against Rennes and Nimes, but they’ll also be keen to improve upon what is a fairly average looking away record so far this season.
Saint-Etienne possess an away record of 1-3-2 6/11 with their one success on their travels so far being a 3-2 win at Toulouse but they’ve also suffered recent heavy defeats at PSG 4-0 and Lille 3-1.
Incidentally, both teams have scored in 4 of the 6 away matches where Saint-Etienne have been involved, and with forward Khazri (6 goals) and midfielder Cabella (3 goals) in their ranks, the visitors could also make the net bulge in this one.
The betting tips indicate both teams to score here.
