Anderlecht vs Lyon prediction

Lyon suffered extreme frustration in their quest for league phase football in the Champions League as they were beaten in the two-legged play-off round by Fenerbahce. But whilst they’ve sold players in the transfer window, the Ligue 1 side remains a strong team and have begun the season undefeated domestically.

Anderlecht certainly fit the description of a fallen giant in recent times and have begun the campaign with three wins, two losses and a draw in the Belgian top flight. Scoring goals has been an issue for them and that doesn’t bode well when you consider Lyon’s offensive firepower. Consider using the draw no bet market here whilst backing a Lyon victory.

Anderlecht vs Lyon tip: Lyon draw no bet
