Lyon v St-Etienne

BT Sport 3, 7.45pm Friday

Tensions run high at the Derby Rhone-Alpes, although this showdown will be less fiery than usual because of a ban on away fans.

That gives Lyon, who have suffered just one defeat since the end of August, an edge especially as St-Etienne aren’t the best travellers with just one win and six goals in their six Ligue 1 road trips.

Recommendation
Lyon
2pts 3-5 general

Key stat
Lyon’s last five games in all competitions have produced 21 goals.
