  • Venue: Parc Olympique Lyonnais

Lyon last season finished 8th on the table, but it seems this season could be even worse. Right now, they are 10th on the table. Still, things are looking better lately, as Lyon are without a loss in the last four matches. In the previous game, they played 3-3 on the road against Lille. Lyon were close to a loss that time as they were losing 3-0 until the 83rd minute. They scored three goals late in the game and saved one point. 

Lyon have a good attacking line. They scored 16 goals in the last eight matches. Also, Lyon went over 2.5 goals in seven of those eight games. 

Nantes are not completely safe from relegation. They are only six points ahead of the drop zone. Also, Nantes are not in good form, as they won only one of the last seven matches. Last weekend, Nantes played 2-2 at home against Nice. That game was fairly even, so it is no wonder the teams split the points. 

Nantes allowed 14 goals in the last six matches. Also, five of those six games went over 2.5 goals. 

Lyon vs Nantes pick: Over 2.5 goals

Both teams are playing high-scoring matches lately, so over 2.5 goals should be the best bet for this tie.

Nantes Team News

After a draw against Nice, Nantes' head coach Antoine Kombouare was satisfied. His team was behind twice but didn't give up, so Kombouare wanted to congratulate players for not giving up. Confidence is high in Nantes, so that could be only a good thing for our bet. 

In the upcoming tie, Nantes will be without Marcus Coco, Evann Guessand, Quentin Merlin, and Charles Traore.
