Lyon had a torrid outing in Europe and will be returning home hoping for some calm in Ligue 1. They head out to Saint-Etienne in their next assignment as the league enters matchday 30. Read on for our prediction of this match.
Saint-Etienne are still stuck in the red zone in Ligue 1, and every week they seem to be drawing closer to Ligue 2. In their last game, Les Verts fought gallantly to come back three times and draw 3-3 with Brest.
Coming into a second straight home match, they will hope to go one better and win. Their defensive shape at home has been their biggest letdown, the team conceding three or more in the last four matches.
Lyon will be looking to put behind them their Europa League elimination by Manchester United. Les Gones will be beating themselves for poorly managing a game they led 4-2 but went on to lose 5-4.
While they continued with their good scoring form, a lot of questions linger regarding their defensive shape. That was the second time in five matches that Lyon conceded four goals.
They resume their chase for an automatic Champions League slot, hoping to build on their seven wins in 10 Ligue 1 matches.

Our Saint Etienne vs Lyon Prediction
Saint-Etienne will come into this game hoping their extended rest will work in their favor against Lyon. The visitors arrive here fresh from a grueling quarter-final encounter in the Europa League, which went into extra time.
They will hope for an easier outing, but with Saint-Etienne fighting relegation, that may not be a guarantee. Lyon have a better run in the league, though, and will be favorites to win here. Our prediction for Saint-Etienne v Olympique Lyon is for Lyon to win and over 2.5 goals.
