Lyon Scoring First

APWin experts have analyzed the main betting markets and selected high-value bets.

👉 Our prediction is: Lyon to win the 1st half

As the odds and the statistics clearly indicate, Lyon is the superior side in this matchup. They play an aggressive attacking style that puts pressure on their opponents. We expect more or less the same gameplan at home against Metz, which should result in a fast start.

That is why we are tipping Lyon to win the first half in the half-time market.

👉 Our prediction is: Lyon to score first

It will be a tough task for Lyon to topple Metz, who have been a better side overall this season. But with the support of the home crowd will be a huge help to Lyon in their bid to cause an upset.

While the odds of an outright win are not great, we recommend betting on Lyon to score first as a decent alternative. There is still good value in those odds, and with Lyon's attacking talent, they have more than a puncher's chance of paying off that bet.
