Best Tip: Both teams to score

Analysing all relevant stats, including historical head-to-head (H2H) data, we have come to the conclusion that this fixture will deliver both joy and misery to both home and away fans. We expect both Lorient and Lyon to find the back of the net during the 90 minutes, but the ultimate winner of the fixture seems less clear. Bookmaker's odds also point towards a both teams to score bet, and that's what we'd recommend going with.
