Odds: Lyon (5/6) Draw (11/5) Toulouse (15/4)Gamingtips Prediction – Lyon 2:0 Toulouse
Lyon have made a shocking start to this season with just 5 wins from their opening 15. Lyon finished 3rd in France Ligue 1 last season scoring 61 goals in 38 games and conceding 38. Toulouse finished 10th scoring 49 goals in 38 games and conceding 47. Toulouse have won 3 of their last 5 against Lyon. The real problem for Toulouse is that in 2 games they scored 8 goals (out of their total of 16) giving them an average goals per game ratio of 0.5 in every other game they have played. Lyon simply do not look like the same side this season however they should have enough quality to overcome Toulouse and if this were last season, Lyon would most likely be odds of 4/7 or shorter so odds of 5/6 offer value if they can score against a side whose goals to game ratio is slightly deceptive.
