Lyon vs Toulouse: French Championship match betting tip
The honor of closing the Saturday game day in the French Ligue 1 on January 18 fell to the teams Lyon and Toulouse. The hosts are on a winning streak of four games in a row at home. Will they be able to extend their successful performance? You will find the answer and trending bets in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Lyon
FranceCurrent form
Despite the difficult financial problems, Lyon plays more than well at home. The winless streak lasts five games in a row, and Pierre Sazh charges won the last four matches. In the last match, the children played in the national cup with an unknown club Bourgeois Julier. Regular time ended in a draw (2:2), and in the penalty shootout, fortune turned away from Lyon. Maybe this is for the best, because it will be possible to more competently concentrate on performances in the national championship. The club has special problems in defense, because in five of the six previous matches the goalkeeper took the ball out of his net at least once.
Disqualifications and injuries
The club currently has no injured players.
Interesting trends for betting
- Lyon have not lost at home in five games in a row
- The hosts have scored in the last 14 games
Probable line-up: Perry - Maitland-Niles, Mata, Niahate, Tagliafico - Tolisso, Matic, Veretout - Cherki, Lacazette, Fofana.
Toulouse
FranceCurrent form
Toulouse is playing more than well. After the first half of the season, the violets are in close proximity to the Eurocup zone, and are also playing successfully in the French Cup, because a few days ago they beat Laval with a score of 2:1, thanks to which they reached the 1/8 finals. Over the past month, the only thing that can not be counted is the fiasco from Strasbourg (1:2), but this is somehow not very upsetting, because Strasbourg is currently in the best form for the past part of the championship. The game with the upcoming opponent will be a real test of strength, because Lyon, with the support of the local public, is growing wings and the team is playing such a game that sometimes the grandees can envy. Bookmakers do not really believe in the triumph of the violets, because they are an obvious underdog.
Disqualifications and injuries
Schmidt, Cierro and Nicolaisen will not take to the field due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Toulouse have not lost their last two away matches
- The visitors have kept a clean sheet in three of their last five away matches
Tentative line-up: Rest - Mackenzie, Akdag, Cresswell - Donnum, Casseres, Canvo, Suazo - Abuhlal, King, Gboho.

1.68Tip and bets
Let repeat once again: Lyon scores points and plays great football on its home field, but falls off badly on the road. At the same time, the children defense is far from ideal, and only the competent actions of the forwards allow them to maintain balance and score points with the support of the local crowd. In addition, if you look at the history of face-to-face meetings at the Groupama stadium, you will see that for four games in a row, the teams alternate matches in which only one opponent scores, and then two. Based on this, there will be no zeros after the final whistle in the upcoming match.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.65
Bet on the outcome
If Lyon starts losing points on their home field as well, then it is clear that they will not be able to keep their place in the top six in the European Cup. The home team has no injured players, so we will agree with the bookmakers that the hosts will achieve another three points at home.
Our prediction is a Lyon win with odds of 1.82
Bet on corners
We expect an open game, in which the opponents, as usual, will focus on attacking actions, thanks to which they will be able to take a decent number of corners between them.
Our prediction is total over 8.5 corners with odds of 1.65
