Olympique Lyonnais vs ES Troyes AC Prediction 19 August 2022

This coming Friday we will see the opening match of the third round of Ligue 1, in which Lyon will host Troyes.

Two weeks ago, Lyon started in the championship with a minimum win of 2:1 against Ajaccio, after which their meeting with Lorient was postponed indefinitely. It should be noted that in the 2021/22 campaign, les Gones finished only eighth, which is why they will completely miss the European Cups.

While Troyes do not have such high ambitions. Fifteenth place with 38 points and goal statistics of 37:53 is a worthy figure for a club that only dreams of firmly gaining a foothold in the elite French division. The new championship began unsuccessfully for the Blue-Whites - they lost 2:3 to Montpellier and 0:3 to Toulouse.

As for us, today's Lyon are much stronger than Troyes, which is proved by the five victories of the favorite in the last five duels of these teams. And now the hosts are close to a confident victory over a frank outsider.
