Metz :
Spending the last week of the Ligue 1 in France, Nantes played away on the weekend and did not give the opponent the opportunity to score against Farid Boulaya and returned with 1 point. After the decline to the downstairs, the host, who changed his coach and entrusted the team to Vincent Hognon, defeated only Bordeaux in the last 6 weeks under the leadership of the new coach. Metz, who continues his way in the 15th place, will be deprived of Boulaya who saw a red card against Lyon, where he lost 2-0 in the first half of the season.
Lyon :
When Lyon spent the fourth week in a row with points loss, coach Man Rudi Garcia’s performance in the team was criticized. The visiting team, who had a hard time in the Ligue 1 of France, made a change in the first half of the season, and reached an agreement with Rudi Garcia 16 weeks ago. Having failed to recover, Lyon managed to score only 34 points at the end of 24 weeks and fell to the 11th place in the Ligue 1 of France. Lastly, the team that took the lead 1-0 against Strasbourg last weekend, failed to maintain the top score. Rudi Garcia and his team, which performed much more effectively on the road, left 13 away matches with 5 wins, 3 draws, and failed to take advantage of the fans, but turned away in favor of the outdoor raid. Depay, Dubois, Adelaide and Bomawoko are still injured in the guest team this week.
Having a hard time, Lyon signaled a recovery with the football it displayed in the last week against Strasbourg. Although the visiting team was contented with 1 point, it displayed one of its most effective performances after a long time. Lyon is worth trying for the victory this week.
PREDICTION: Lyon to win @ 1,95
