Lyon hosts Lens in round 18 of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Wednesday, January 6th at Parc Olympique Lyonnais (Lyon)
Against the backdrop of the failure in the last local championship, Rudy Garcia's men are showing incredible progress. Lyon acts in an orderly manner, with strict adherence to the tactical plan, high aggression in the attack, and the reliability of the defensive line. Before the New Year's break, the Kids managed to outrank PSG in the standings. In terms of the quality of the game and the squad, Lyon looks like the only French club that can really impose a fight on the Parisians for gold. Rudy Garcia has received only small reinforcement this season. The bosses signed full-fledged contracts with Lucas Paqueta, Ekambi, and Ozkacar, and loaned De Sciglio. However, the leaders of the club (Anthony Lopes, Denayer, Aouar, and Depay) demonstrate excellent football. The striker Tino Kadewere who returned from loan became a real discovery of the season.

After returning to the elite division, RC Lens firmly established itself as the middle peasant of the league. Now Franck Haise's wards occupy an intermediate seventh place in the standings. Lens has chosen a gradual development strategy that allows it to remain competitive and financially stable. In the last rounds, the team alternated between victories and defeats and showed decent scoring indicators. The club works carefully in the transfer market. In the summer, Lens signed a range of strong newcomers for modest money (Medina, Bade, Fofana, Jean, and Ganago) and loaned Kalimuendo, Kakuta, Sylla, and Farinez. All the newcomers have become a serious reinforcement for the tea, and most of them usually appeared in the starting lineup.
The visitors show a quite good game this season, regularly gaining points and being the middle peasant in the French championship. However, Lens looks like a clear outsider against the backdrop of Rudy Garcia's formidable team. Lyon gained momentum in the local arena, pushing PSG from its usual first place in the standings. Such results automatically make the Kids favorites in all home matches.
Prediction for the match: Lyon to win
