Lyon:
Rudi García’s team visited Montpellier last Tuesday and lost 2-1. Of course, the result was unfair for his aspirations, since he was charged a non-existent penalty when the game went 0-0 in the first half. Then he suffered an expulsion and another goal to finally discount.
These days, he has 4 points in the general table, the product of 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss in total. At the moment he still has a neat and offensive proposal, which allows him to generate many situations and corners in his favor.
Most likely, Lyon will move forward the lines steadily and gradually, trying to take advantage of his higher individual hierarchy to face and throw off balance.
It is not ruled out that he converts a goal in the first half and then converts a couple more in the complementary stage.
Nimes:
The team hosted Rennes last Sunday and fell 2-4 in a rather over-the-top duel. In that match he did not defend at all well, showing it by losing the first half 1-2.
They currently have 3 points in the general table, after beating Brest 4-0 in their first league game. Then he lost the next two duels he played, having trouble being regular between the lines.
The logic indicates that Nimes back the lines from the starting whistle, trying not to give up a goal in the first 25 ‘minutes of play. Otherwise, he could be beaten after the final whistle.
In attack he will not have many, since he will surely not have the ball. He will seek to reach the goal through specific and isolated actions, as well as with the famous stopped balls.
PREDICTION: Lyon to win @ 1,45
