Lyon - Ajaccio: Form Analysis
Lyon have had a mixed preseason. They managed to win four of their eight friendlies, yet also lost 5-0 to Willem and 3-0 to Anderlecht. Their defensive issues last season were addressed in the transfer window by the signing of Nicolas Tagliafico, while they also welcomed back Lacazette and Tolisso to their ranks, adding valuable quality to their attacking arsenal. Bosz’ side are strong at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais, winning four of their last five, and scoring fourteen goals in their last three league games there. Ajaccio have had a decent preseason too. They played mostly Ligue 2 sides, winning two and drawing one of their five. They finished the season strongly in the second tier, going unbeaten in their last ten league games and will be aiming to continue in that way. The team from Corsica have never won an away game against Lyon, losing seven of their past eight games.

Lyon & Ajaccio Squad Analysis
Lacazette is likely to lead the line for the Lyonnais, and is in fine goalscoring form after scoring Lyon’s last two friendlies. Besides the absence of injured Caqueret, Lyon can benefit from a full squad. Courtet and Krasso are likely to lead the like for the islanders, who usually employ a 4-4-2 system and based their success last season on an impressive partnership of defensive duo Vidal and Gonzalez, who contributed at Ajaccio’s impressive tally of just nineteen goals conceded in thirty-eight league games.

Our Lyon vs Ajaccio Prediction
Lyon are rightly favourites for this one, yet we are not sure they can be trusted in such low odds from the beginning of the campaign. The one thing certain to have remained constant is their offensive mindset, making Over 2.5 goals the smartest play in this fixture.
