Tip and bets
Lyon managed to gain form, but dropped points in a mid-week match against Nice due to a great performance from the opponent. We think that Kidswill be able to redeem themselves this time and will get closer to the Top-5. We offer to place a bet on the hosts, they should be able to pick up three points due to higher class and fans' support.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (-1) on Lyon
We think that we will see attacking football today - both opponents are playing offensively, but they usually forget about the defense. In 2 out of 4 most recent games opponents scored at least five goals and we are expecting another high-scoring match this time.
Our second bet is on total over 3 goals
