Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

Our prediction for Sunday's game is over 2.5 goals, meaning that we expect St Etienne and Lyon to score 3 goals or more between them during the traditional 90 minutes. 2 goals or fewer would mean the time doesn't win but, with stats below suggesting there will be plenty of firepower on the pitch, we think it looks like a great bet.
