Lyon vs Bordeaux Prediction and Betting tips

Lyon entertain Bordeaux at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais in Ligue 1 action on Sunday.

The hosts suffered a 3-0 loss at home to West Ham United in their Europa League quarter-final fixture as they were eliminated 4-1 on aggregate by the English side. They can now focus on improving their position in the league standings. In their previous Ligue 1 outing, they played out a 1-1 draw against Strasbourg.

The visiting side picked up their first win since February as they overcame Metz 3-1 last time around. The race for survival in the top flight is getting tougher, and a win here might propel them to 17th place in the standings.

Bordeaux, on the other hand, have just a couple of wins in their travels this season and have failed to secure a win in an away game in 2022. Only a third of their goals this season have come in their travels, so they might struggle here.

Three of the last four meetings at Sunday's venue between the two sides have ended in draws and, given the form of both sides, we might have another low-scoring draw on our hands.

Prediction: Lyon 1-1 Bordeaux
