Lyon vs Amiens Match Prediction

Lyon will be hoping to widen the gap between themselves and fourth-placed Marseille with a win against Amiens in what will be their first ever Ligue 1 (L1) meeting at Lyon. Amiens are fighting in the bottom-half of the L1 table and will attempt to overtake twelfth-placed Bordeaux.
Both teams have already met in the lower divisions. In four previous encounters at the Groupama Stadium in Ligue 2, Lyon have won all of them! Having never give up a single point against Amiens, the hosts also boast a distinct psychological advantage.
Currently with great momentum, Lyon have recorded four-straight wins in L1 against Caen (1-0), Marseille (2-3), Toulouse (2-0) and away to bottom-of-the-league Metz last weekend (5-0). Thanks to these results, Bruno Genesio’s men have climbed up into third place, level on points with Marseille (fourth) ahead of this round 33.
After a solid 1-0 win away to Lille in round 31, Amiens continued their recent fine form with a 3-0 win at home to Caen last Saturday. Undefeated in their last four L1 fixtures (W2, D2), Christophe Pélissier and his team sit in 13th place ahead of the round.

Players to watch:

Lyon’s top scorer so far this season has been Mariano Diaz who has 16 goals and three assists in L1.
Amiens’ Congolese midfielder Gael Kakuta is performing well this season with five goals and five assists – the best assists total in the team.

Stat attack:

Lyon have won their last five clashes against Amiens in all competitions, scoring at least two goals in each of them. Moreover, they have lost only two of their last 17 home matches in the league (W9, D6, L2).
With only ten goals scored in 16 away games, Amiens have the second-worst away attack in the league. Consequently, they have seen under three goals in 13 of their last 14 away L1 fixtures.
