But also the betting base relies on the hosts. The experts come in their analysis to Ligue 1 game Lyon vs.. Reims to the tip “Lyon wins to zero”.
Lyon:
Olympique Lyon have already won nine games in the league this season. There are also five draws and four defeats. On offense “Les Gones” are at 30 goals. This value is surpassed in the Ligue 1 only by Paris St. Germain. 20 of the 32 counters brought OL in the domestic Groupama Stadium. In front of their own fans, there have been six wins, two draws and two defeats so far. The goal difference is 16: 7. Away, Lyon could only win three out of eight games. On Tuesday, Olympique retired in the quarter-finals of the League Cup after a 1: 2 home defeat against Strasbourg. The guests from Alsace were extremely effective and made two goals from their only chance to score and a penalty. Lyon enjoyed 72 percent of the time and scored nine goals. In addition, Fekir missed in injury time of the first round still a penalty. In addition, the aluminum got in the way with three shots. So the home side could not prevent the Aus. Coach Génésio was disappointed after the defeat. Strasbourg has shown more will to win than his team. Also the patience and the luck would have been missing. You did not deserve to progress. His team make the same mistakes again and again. You have to work on them and put them off urgently. It was good, however, that you could make amends on Friday in the next home game for reparation.
In recent months, the coach has repeatedly been the focus of criticism. The team was not good enough under the coach to win titles. But not so bad that you could get into a crisis. Good results in the Champions League allowed Génésio to strengthen his position. In Group F, OL had qualified behind Manchester City and before Donetsk and Hoffenheim unbeaten for the knockout round of the premier class. The opening match in the group stage was particularly buoyant when Lyon won 2-1 at the Citizens. Since a bitter 0: 5 at PSG on Matchday 9 OL had to accept only two defeats in 16 competitive games, both, however, at home. Thus, there were two defeats in the last three mandatory home games. On the other hand, Lyon have played eight matches without defeat. The best scorers of OL are Houssem Aouar (six goals) and Memphis Depay (five goals). The Dutch Depay is also with six assists, the best preparer of the league. The national player of the Elftal should certainly be considered as a factor in the game Lyon against Reims for a forecast.
Reims:
Already from the season 2012/13 to the season 2015/16 Reims had played in Ligue 1. After two years in the second division, the men from Champagne are now back in the top French league. From the first 19 games of the season 2018/19 Reims took six wins, five draws and five defeats. However, the Rouge et Blanc scored only 15 goals; that’s the third worst value in the league. On the other hand, the newly promoted conceded only 18 goals. Only three teams have conceded fewer goals in Ligue 1 so far. Sixteen of her 26 points came from the side of coach David Guion at home. In their own stadium you had to accept in the last six competitive games only a bust. In foreign parts you can find the club with ten points on the twelfth place of the away table. In nine games on the opponent’s place Stade Reims reach only six goals. In addition, Stade has won only one of the last eight games away from home. In the first competitive game of the new year Reims ran on Sunday in the Coupe de France at home against second division RC Lens ran. The home side played very effectively and decided the game with a double strike in minute 32 and 36 for themselves. The goalkeeping ratio was 5: 2 for the guests. Moussa Doumbia and Hyun-jun Suk are missing. Aly Ndom was awarded to SM Caen.
