The home team have lost seven of their last nine matches just before today’s Bordeaux vs Lyon betting tips, though two wins from their last three league outings is a marked improvement for Head Coach Gus Poyet. Bordeaux have only lost one of their last six games against their weekend visitors, though the landscape has changed considerably this year for the respective clubs. Les Girondins will take to the Matmut Atlantique as clear underdogs this time around.

Lyon have been sensational this season all things considered. Last week’s win over PSG felt like a defining moment for their young team and the scenes after Memphis Depay’s 95^th-minute winner were fantastic. OL have won five of their last six fixtures since mid-December and though they still trail the Parisians by eight points, their win last week has at least made things a little more interesting near the table’s summit. Bruno Genesio’s side have won eight of their eleven away Ligue 1 matches in 2017/18. Read our free French football betting tips below.

Bordeaux vs Lyon Prediction and Betting Advice

In their current form, you simply have to back the away team in our Bordeaux vs Lyon bets to take the points again this weekend. Five wins from their most recent six matches is a terrific recent run and their last-gasp win over Paris St. Germain would have sent confidence rippling through their young squad.

Les Girondins have lost their last three matches at the Matmut Atlantique on the spin – Caen, Montpellier and Strasbourg all left there with three points. In fact, they have won just one home match in their last six. That sort of sequence is bound to have had a deep impact on their self-belief and OL can take advantage of that this week.

OL are Ligue 1’s most efficient team when playing away in 2017/18. They have collected more points than any other side on the road this term, losing just once in eleven away fixtures. PSG were the only side to beat Bruno Genesio’s men outside Lyon in a 2-0 triumph back in September. We are tipping OL to continue their phenomenal away run on Sunday. The most lucrative outright Ligue 1 football match odds are located at Betfair, who were top of the pile in terms of value when compared to their rivals.

Although Les Gones have some terrifically talented young players at their disposal, the pick of the bunch is almost certainly Nabil Fekir. The 24-year-old attacker has been in scintillating form in recent weeks and backing him to score anytime this week is an easy inclusion in today’s Bordeaux vs Lyon predictions.

Fekir is the glue that holds OL’s attack together and he has found the net six times in his last six appearances. All those goals arrived in singles, which shows how much of an influence he has on every match he plays. Flanked by the ever-improving Memphis Depay and Mariano Diaz, Fekir has plenty of help when looking to pick holes in defences.

When our featured teams went toe to toe earlier in the season, Fekir bagged the game’s opening goal in an end-to-end 3-3 draw at the Groupama Stadium. Fekir also bagged the first goal of the game last week in his side’s wonderful win over PSG. The OL youth product is on fire and the odds on him to score anytime against Les Girondins at Unibet cannot be missed. You won’t find better prices in that market anywhere.
