Command Analysis
Lyon
Current form
Paulo Fonseca's team played in the Europa League this week and successfully played a home match against English Crystal Palace. Lyon had a strong first half and had already hit the opponent's goal twice by the 45th minute. The British were not going to give up and pressed in the second half, which led to two goals scored. However, the French were on top and did not allow the score to be equalized – 3:2 in the end. Now the team has six points and eighth place in the standings.
Lyon is playing well in the championship and after six rounds is in fourth place with 11 points in the asset. In the last round, Fonseca's team met with Lance, but could not beat the blood-gold. The game ended in a 1:2 defeat. Earlier, the team won a crushing victory over Rennes (4:0).
Disqualifications and injuries
Tagliafico, Ouedraogo and Openda will miss the game due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
In the last four games in a row, the kids scored at least two goals.
Lyon beat Nice on home turf in three games in a row.
The team is starting to gain momentum and in the last round was able to win the French championship for the second time in a row. In the home match, the club from the Cote d'Azur beat Strasbourg. The first half ended in a 1-1 goalless draw, and in the 81st minute Jonathan Kloss put his team ahead - 2-1 in the end. Earlier, the eaglets beat Lille with the same score. The six points earned allowed Olivier Pantanoli's players to take 11th place in the standings with eight points behind them. Thus, the team broke away from the rivals from the danger zone by two points, but the density is very high and any loss of points can throw Lyon back into the relegation zone.
Disqualifications and injuries
The injured Mendy, Bombito, Sanson and Abergel will not help the team. The appearance of Abdul Samad, Abdi and Ngumu on the field remains questionable.
Interesting betting trends
The team has scored an average of one goal since the start of the championship.
In two consecutive Eaglets games, there was an own goal in the first half.
Fonseca's team has not lost at home yet, while Nice has not won in away matches and has not scored a single goal at all. After a brilliant Europa League match, the children are in a great mood and have the task of defeating the eaglets, who won in two rounds in a row. Lyon surpasses its opponent in all respects, has much more experience and is playing well with Nice - four wins in the last five matches. We expect that the support of the fans will be a key factor and will lead to a victory, which we will bet on.
The last meetings of the home team were productive, and today we will definitely see bright and productive football. In the four previous meetings of the children, at least three goals were scored in all tournaments, and the eaglets finished two consecutive games in the championship with a total of more. With such numbers, statistics hint that there will be an effective battle and a scoring extravaganza will take place.
The betting tip is a total of more than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.67
Betting on corners
The opponents have been playing attacking football lately and will probably spend a lot of time on offense, but there is no need to play defense. In the last four matches of the home team, out of six in all tournaments, at least 10 corner kicks were served, and we believe that there will also be a lot of corners today.
The betting tip is that the total number of corners is more than 9.5 with a coefficient of 1.70
