Olympique Lyonnais Nantes betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This confrontation tends to be somewhat unbalanced, considering that the home team has a considerably superior squad and still fights for a spot in the Champions League next season, while the away one has only an average squad and no longer has anything at stake in the competition. In addition, Lyon has come from 6 consecutive victories, 3 of them at home where it scored 6 goals and did not suffer any in these triumphs, in addition to being one of the teams that most scored goals in the home matches, while Nantes has dropped a lot of income and does not win for 5 away games. In view of these factors, we believe that Lyon can win by at least 2 goals difference, and if it wins only by 1 goal advantage, the investment will be returned.

Preview
Olympique Lyonnais and Nantes face at Parc Olympique Lyonnais, in a match for the 35th round of the Ligue 1. In the last head‑to‑head for this edition of the league, played on 26‑08‑2017, these teams have tied (0‑0). The head‑to‑head history of the last 3 years favours the home team, since in the last 8 matches they won 4, tied 3 and lost 1. Olympique Lyonnais registers significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth special attention.

Analysis Lyon

After 20 wins, 9 draws and 5 losses, the home team is in the 3rd position, havinf won 69 points so far. In the last match, they have won in an away match against Dijon by (2‑5), after in the previous match they have won (3‑0) at home, against Amiens. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 10 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses in away matches, with 33 goals scored and 20 conceded; against 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 27 goals scored and 11 conceded. For the league, Olympique Lyonnais won 18 points out of 30 possible points, after 5 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses in the last 10 home matches. Their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 14 of the last 16 matches for this competition have ended with Over 1,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 8 of their 34 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 2.

Lyon are going through an excellent phase in Ligue 1 where they have not lost for 9 games, come from 6 consecutive victories and are looking for another 3 points in the fight for a place in the UEFA Champions League next season. The team is characterized by an excellent balance between the offensive and defensive sectors, since it scored 77 goals, being the third best attack of the competition, and suffered 38 goals, having the fourth defense less leaked, so much that in its last 6 games, scored 19 goals and suffered only 4. Playing at home, as the match this Saturday, Lyon comes from 3 good wins in a row where it has not conceded a goal at all, so much so that it has the third defense less leaked at home, acting at great level in this type of situation. For the confrontation with Nantes, coach Bruno Genesio again can not count on striker Diaz for injury, a major absence, since the athlete is the top scorer of the team.

Confirmed Lineup: Anthony Lopes, Rafael, Ferland Mendy, Marcelo, Jérémy Morel, Lucas Tousart, Tanguy Ndombélé, Houssem Aouar, Nabil Fekir, Memphis Depay, Bertrand Traoré.
Coach: P. Bosz.

Analysis Nantes

The away team is currently in the 8th position of the league, with 46 points won, after 12 wins, 10 draws and 12 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in a home match against Dijon, by (1‑1). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Rennes, by (1‑1). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 20 goals scored and 21 conceded; against 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 16 goals scored and 18 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches Nantes has a record of 2 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses, so they have won 11 points out of 30 possible. In their away matches there are a few frequent results: at half‑time 0‑0 (6 out of 17 matches) and after the 90' 1‑1 (6 out of 17 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 34 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 13 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Nantes are going through a very bad phase in the French Championship where they have not won for the last five games and have reached the final rounds without any great concerns since they have no chance of qualifying for continental competitions next season or being relegated. The team has a somewhat ineffective attack that has scored 33 goals and is the seventh worst of the competition while the defense, on the other hand, has suffered only 37 goals and is the third less leaked, although it has dropped a bit of income and conceded goals in the last 5 rounds. 
Playing away from home, such as Saturday's clash, Nantes have not won for five games, in 2 of them they have faced teams that are among the last placed, demonstrating the difficulty of making good performances away from home. 
For the game against Lyon, coach Claudio Ranieri will not be able to count on the striker Sala, top scorer of the team in the competition, by injury, another problem in his already fragile offensive system.

Confirmed Lineup: Ciprian Tătărușanu, Léo Dubois, Lucas Lima, Nicolas Pallois, Koffi Djidji, Abdoulaye Touré, Jules Iloki, Adrien Thomasson, Valentin Rongier, Samuel Moutoussamy, Préjuce Nakoulma.
Coach: A. Kombouare.
