In today’s free Olympique Lyon vs Guingamp preview we take a look at a fascinating face-off between two Ligue 1 clubs who have made solid starts to the 2017/18 season. Olympique Lyon and Guingamp are handily placed in the top half of the standings after four matches, giving themselves a great foundation to work from. The latest football odds suggest that OL should have an easy ride on Sunday, but the record books show that things could very easily be trickier for Bruno Génésio this weekend.

In advance of this week’s Olympique Lyon vs Guingamp betting tips, the home side are unbeaten after four rounds of Ligue 1 fixtures. Their 4-0 win over Strasburg on the opening weekend was quickly followed by a hard fought 2-1 win at Rennes. Since then, Les Gones have drawn two on the spin against Bordeaux and Nantes.

Examining the form of the away team, we see they have won 50% of their league fixtures since August. Their two defeats came against a couple of last year’s Champions League qualifiers, PSG and Nice. EAG shipped five goals without reply in that brace of losses, which is something worth acknowledging in our Olympique Lyon vs Guingamp predictions later.

Guingamp won two out of three of last year’s meetings with Lyon, winning 2-1 in the Stade de Roudourou and 3-1 in Groupama Stadium in Ligue 1. That was EAG’s first victory away to OL since 2004.

Olympique Lyon vs Guingamp Prediction and Betting Advice

We open today’s free OddsDigger Saint-Étienne vs Angers picks by predicting that both teams will score on Sunday. Even though there is a gap in quality between the squads that is very apparent, last season showed us that Lyon tend to struggle against this Guingamp team. For that reason, your money is probably safer if you stay away from the outright match result market. Bookmakers have weighed the odds quite heavily in favour of the home team, so there is little value in pursuing them. In six of the last seven match-ups between our scrutinised teams, both sides have got on the scoresheet. We expect that pattern to replicate itself this weekend. Unibet’s odds ensure the best value for punters here.

The second choice for our Ligue 1 football tips today is backing there to be over 2.5 goals at the Groupama Stadium on Sunday. As we hinted at earlier, the unpredictability of the result markets for this fixture drive us to alternative sections at the bookmakers. There have been thirteen goals in the home team’s four league games since 2017/18 started, while there have been eleven goals in EAG’s matches to date. That suggests that we are dealing with squads who are more likely to be engaged in open and exciting battles. In the last seven meetings between OL and EAG, there have been over 2.5 goals on six occasions.
