Olympique Lyonnais form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team, who have the fewest points (1) away in Ligue 1, on their Ligue 1 travels is 0 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Olympique Lyonnais's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Olympique Lyonnais delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Toulouse (placed 11th) in their previous fixture. Gusto, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.44. Gusto hit one key pass and won 8 of 12 duels.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Lens wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Olympique Lyonnais playing away and similar expectations, we found 6 relevant matches. Results were 2 Lyon wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats.

The attacking power of Olympique Lyonnais when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 4 league matches away. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Olympique Lyonnais have conceded 7 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
