We said: Saint-Etienne 1-3 Lyon

With Saint-Etienne conceding three goals or more in four consecutive home games — including two 3-3 draws against Angers and Brest and losses to Nice (3-1) and Paris Saint-Germain (6-1) — the second-bottom side's recent results at the Geoffroy-Guichard do not inspire confidence among supporters. While Les Verts are expected to score on Sunday, Lyon, despite Fonseca's suspension, have continued to find the net, evidenced by the Kids scoring two goals or more in five matches since his ban and 10 overall under the Portuguese. Thus, the away side are favoured to secure maximum points on Sunday to at least remain in fourth and potentially leapfrog Monaco or Marseille in gameweek 30. Read more.
