Lyon have experienced a mixed recent run, securing three victories across six matches but suffering defeats in their two most recent outings against 1899 Hoffenheim and Paris Saint Germain. Despite these setbacks, they have maintained a formidable home presence, remaining unbeaten in their last five home matches across all competitions. Angers find themselves in a difficult spell, having recorded only one win in their last six league encounters. Their recent form has been defined by defensive struggles, notably conceding heavily in away matches against Stade Brestois 29 and at home to Marseille. With two goalless draws in their last three league appearances, they are looking to stabilize their performance as they travel to Lyon.

Lyon have historically dominated this fixture, winning three of the four most recent meetings between the two sides. Their last encounter in April 2026 ended in a goalless draw, representing the only time Angers have avoided defeat against Lyon in this sequence.

  • Lyon have not lost at home in their five most recent home matches.
  • Angers have conceded five goals in each of their two most recent league defeats.
  • Lyon have scored six goals in the first half across their recent matches.
  • Angers have failed to win any of their three most recent away league matches.

Given their impressive unbeaten record at the Groupama Stadium and their historical success against Angers, Lyon enter this match with a clear advantage in momentum. While Angers have shown defensive vulnerability on the road, their recent goalless draws suggest they may attempt to frustrate the hosts. Nevertheless, Lyon's stronger attacking output and recent home form lean the match toward a result for the hosts.

No absences were reported for either side in our records.
