Lyon vs Ajax Prediction & Betting tips
Ajax is after the 4-1 win from the EL semi-final match at the gate of the final. Or right? In Amsterdam, not everyone is completely restored, given the attacking powers of opponent Olympique Lyon.
Lyon :
Olympique Lyon cut himself in the Netherlands a week ago. A good start in the Arena could not be awarded a goal, and surprisingly, the French were at rest by 2-0. In the second half there were certainly also opportunities, but stayed at a hit by Valbuena. What did happen in the defense, or rather, did not happen was drawing. The “rest defense” that trainers always talk about completely disappeared after the rest, and it was thanks to some good rescue goals from goalkeeper Lopes that the case has not yet been completely played.
Afterwards, hard nuts were cracked. Such a spell, Lacazette, who was not completely fit and starting from the bank, criticized his fellow players, who, according to him, had completely ignored the instructions of trainer Genesio. At the same time, Lyon was fierce and was still known this week, having full confidence in a good run, Thursday evening. Lacazette made his league in the league match last weekend against Nantes. Lyon managed to win 3-2, although Lacazette did not know how to score. Attack Cornet, in Amsterdam still the baseball player, just managed to find it twice.
Probable setup Lyon
Lopes – Rafael, Nkoulou, Diakhaby, Morel – Gonalons, Tousart – Cornet, Tolisso, Valbuena – Lacazette
Ajax :
For Ajax, it seems to be a beautiful season after a difficult start. The team has grown at the EL tournament, and where the team previously just got a little shortage in the CL, it is more than excellent at the second European level. The times that were forecast to end the European adventure, the red-whites knew to get out of their way. For example, the Schalke 04 scaled up was eliminated in the previous round and Lyon last played last week. As mentioned, in the opening phase, Ajax did not make it easy, but the rest of the party did not hold anyone serious.
The title struggle in the Eredivisie seemed to be in the disadvantage of the Amsterdamers after the defeat at PSV (1-0). Due to the recent loss of champion Feyenoord, with low-glider Excelsior (3-0), there is again some hope at Ajax, who himself won his match in the league. Go Ahead Eagles were defeated 4-0, while most of the baseball players got rest from coach Bosz. The chance of Ajax becoming a champion is still small, so most players also recognized, but there is still some hope.
In the last league with Lyon, the wing defenders lacked Veltman and Viergever. Their replacement Tete and Riedewald did very well. It seems logical that Bosz in France again prefer Veltman and Viergever to the whole season.
Probable setup Ajax
Onana – Veltman, Sanchez, The Ligt, Viergever – Klaassen, Schöne, Ziyech – Traoré, Dolberg, Younes
