Lyon host Angers at the Groupama Stadium on October 31st, 2026, with the home side firm favourites to continue their impressive run. Lyon enter this Ligue 1 clash in superb form, having won four and drawn one of their last five matches, boasting a 56% win rate this season. With 52 goals scored and 34 conceded, they possess a potent attack and a solid defence.
In stark contrast, Angers are enduring a difficult spell, winless in their last five outings, with three defeats and two draws. Their overall season record of 9 wins, 7 draws, and 16 losses highlights their struggles, particularly in front of goal, having only netted 27 times while conceding 46. Recent head-to-head encounters heavily favour Lyon, who have won four of the last five, including a dominant 3-0 away victory. While the win probability suggests a 45% chance for Lyon and a surprising 45% for a draw, Lyon's current momentum and superior quality make them strong contenders to secure three points as they push for a higher league position.
