On February 12, Lyon will host Nice in the 24th round of Ligue 1. Who will be stronger in this confrontation? “Bookmaker Ratings” discusses the formation of the teams and advise on what is better to bet on.
Stadium: Groupama (Lyon).
Referee: Benoit Millot.
In the last round, Lyon interrupted a classy eight-match unbeaten streak and lost dry to Monaco with a score of 0:2. Although before that, the team beat Marseille in a principled match (2:1). In the standings, everything is still sad for Lyon. Now they are only on the eighth line, having 34 goals in their assets. But due to the high density of the European Cup zone, the club is three steps behind.
Nice have only lost once in their last nine matches. In general, this defeat can even be called sensational, because the Eaglets managed to lose to the modest Clermont with a score of 0:1. However, for this they were rehabilitated, and in the French Cup they walked through Marseille (4: 1). In the standings, Nice continues to be in third place with 42 goals.
We will not dare to choose a favorite in the upcoming match. Opponents are in good shape and will clearly only aim for three goals. Note that they have no problems with goals scored – on average, they score significantly more goals per match. In addition, goals have been exchanged in their last six head-to-head games. In this case, it seems logical to bet on the exchange of goals and the “top” in general. Prediction: both teams to score – yes.
