Lyon vs Nimes Prediction & Betting tips
On Friday evening, Olympique Lyon will compete against Nîmes Olympique in their own stadium. Two weeks ago, the home team was humiliated by the reigning national champion, but what can a PhD student do against an excited team?
Olympique Lyon:
Two weeks ago Olympique Lyon played a strong first half at Paris Sain-Germain and a good second half on paper. Reigning champion Paris Saint-Germain however won both halves by a penalty from Neymar in the first half and four goals from Kylian Mbappé in the second. Olympique Lyon is now sixth in the ranking with fourteen points and already has a 13-run backlog on PSG and also the number two, Lille, is already five points ahead and also has a better goal difference (+10 versus +2). With Friday first home match against Nîmes Olympique on the program and in eight days after two away games against TSG Hoffenheim and Angers in the program, the team of Bruno Genesio can fine revenge on paper but it seems now.
In order for that to actually happen, every OL player must perform better than hitherto this season. Remarkably, this season no substitute managed to get Bruno Génésio the opportunity to excel against a mega-challenged opponent by scoring. The last few games was not that illogical either because Lucas Tousart got a red card both against Dijon (round 7) and against PSG and so they changed defensively. Another consequence is that the men of Genesio in the first half, or more specifically between the sixteenth and the rest accordingly channel, with a total of eight goals scored more often than in other parts of the game, while the twelve goals against no less than nine in the half hour after the rest fell.
Nimes Olympique:
Due to the bloodless draw of the previous round against fellow-PhD candidate Stade Reims, Bernard Blaquart’s team is on the program with ten points together with four other teams in a shared thirteenth place and with matches against Olympique Lyon and AS Saint-Étienne, it seems that the team should look upwards rather than up. Nîmes Olympique was clearly the better-playing team against Stade Reims but was not scored. Blaquart’s team has managed to create many chances throughout the season by often defensively defending, but Stade Reims did not let themselves be trapped and continued to defend for ninety minutes, which led Nîmes Olympique for the fourth time. five games a point left a game, but even before the seventh match in a row did not win.
For both Nîmes Olympique and Stade Reims, the 0-0 was the fourth draw in five games and also the fourth in total. Caen, Montpellier and Toulouse also managed to score four out of nine times as often or little this season as the opponent and Caen even scored just as many points after nine games as the PhD students. Of these three teams, however, Nîmes will have left the best feeling of the last round (Caen lost just like Stade Reims), certainly because a convincing match was put on the mat with no less than twenty percentage points more possession than the season average and averages per two minutes also three ball touch more than the seasonal average. The goals remain completely out of the last three matches, making it somewhat impossible to finally win again.
