Tip and bets
Saint-Etienne are in a deep crisis and it is hard to guess, how Saints will change the situation. Lyon got off to a great start in the Europa League and they are going well in the domestic league as well. Visitors should be able to pick up points due to a higher class and a deep crisis of White-Greens.
Our prediction - Lyon to win
We think that hosts' defensive line won't be able to stop Lyon's offense. Visitors will play after the Europa League match, but rotation will help them to record a confident victory.
Our second bet is on Lyon: total over 2 goals
