Friday 20:00
(Live on BT Sport ESPN)

Sociedad sunk Atletico in the Basque Country last night. After Loic Remy on Wednesday, it was another ex-Premier Leaguer who left a lot of potential on the table that brought us down. None other than Adnan Januzaj provided the assist for Sociedad's opening goal.

Today we're headed across the border to France, where they should be preparing for a deluge of goals in Dijon. Since returning to Ligue 1 last season, the home side's three meetings with Lyon have finished 4-2, 2-4 and 3-3.

Today, the Mustards are safe in 12th place, having scored in 15/16 appearances at the Gaston Gerard. Five of their most recent 10 league games there have delivered Over 3.5 Goals and we fancy Olivier Dall'Oglio's men to go big again today.

Lyon have scored in 14 straight on the road. They've hit two or more in 12/14, with nine of those matches serving up Over 3.5 Goals in total. Most recently, it's 5/6 with at least four goals for Bruno Genesio's men and we're backing them to get over the line again this evening.
