Command Analysis

Lyon

Current Form
For the second consecutive year, Pierre Sazh's team has started the season dangerously close to the relegation zone. However unlike last season, Lyon quickly regained momentum and currently sits in 11th place in the standings. They are on a three-match winning streak, with two victories in the Europa League. The upcoming opponent may pose a challenge, but their recent performances have been subpar, presenting a clear opportunity to collect three points at home.
Injuries and Suspensions
The team has no injured players.
Notable Betting Trends
Lyon has won their last three matches
The home team has scored in four consecutive games
Projected Lineup: Perry – Maitland-Niles, Niakhate, Chaleta-Car, Tagliafico – Tolisso, Veretout – Numa, Cherki, Benrahma – Lacazette.

Nantes

Current Form
Nantes sits higher than their upcoming opponent in the league standings. Over six matches, the team has earned nine points and currently occupies the seventh position. However, they have not faced any of the top teams in France yet. The upcoming match will serve as a significant test for Antoine Kombouaré's squad.

Santons, Duvern, and Giarrasi will miss the game due to injuries, while Coco is suspended.

1.77Bet «Lyon» to Score in the Second Half

1.68Tip and bets
Lyon is currently in excellent form and we believe the odds for a victory by the team are even inflated. Nantes has dropped points against teams that are now ranked lower, so it’s unlikely they will put up much of a fight against a well-performing squad on the road.
Our prediction is a win for Lyon with odds of 1.75
Total Goals Bet
In three of the last five head-to-head meetings, only one team managed to score. Given the current form of both teams, we expect a similar outcome in the upcoming match, resulting in at least one goal being absent on the scoreboard.
Our prediction is that at least one team will not score with odds of 2.09.
Corners Bet
Lyon's current form is significantly stronger, so we are placing another bet on the hosts to secure more corner kicks.
Our prediction is that Lyon will take more corners with odds of 1.66.
