This week, Olympique Lyonnais may have launched its final sprint! Indeed, the Lyonnais want to embark on this race to the podium, but this time, we will have to chain.
OL has been through nightmares in recent weeks and the podium has temporarily moved away. The Gones can still dream, but they will have to line up good results. The calendar is now conducive to a return of the Lyonnais.
If Lyon were beaten in Guingamp last weekend, 2 goals to 1, this week, Bruno Genesio’s men took the lead by winning in Alkmaar, 4 goals to 1, Europa League.
This success can serve as a click for the Lyonnais, but the staff will still have to do without Mathieu Valbuena. His return to form had allowed the Lyonnais to bounce back and take back the podium, but since his injury, OL has lost a few points.
The Dijon reception, a badly-classified, should allow Lyon to recover, especially in Parc OL, Alexandre Lacazette’s partners (20 goals) have recorded 4 successes over the last 5 receptions. They remain on a beautiful and large victory in front of a promoted, AS Nancy Lorraine (4-0).
The reception of the other promoted is a great opportunity for Lyon, especially as the Dijon are only 13th of the Ligue 1. Last weekend, the Burgundians won at home before Caen, 2-0 but for this Travel in the Rhone, the staff will be deprived of Mr. Martin de Sammaritano, Rufli, Loties and especially, Lees Melou.
The Dijon calendar is insane on the next few days, so the situation could worsen over the next few days. On the outside, the Dijonnais remain on a setback to Metz, 2 goals to 1, so it might be better to bet on a Lyon victory. The Lyonnais will also have to heart to erase their defeat conceded on the way to Burgundy (2-4). OL should not stumble!
Prediction: Lyon -1.5 AH
Odds: 2.15
