Lyon take on the visitors Nantes in the round 37 match of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Saturday, May 14th at Parc Olympique Lyonnais (Lyon).
It will be hard to get a two-goal advantage of the “weavers” in the duel against Nantes, when the team loses to Metz and at the same time concedes as many as three goals. But before that, Marseille beats with a devastating score. Where is the real Lyon? Probably somewhere in between. After the defeat in the last round, there was no place left for Bos's wards in European competition for the next season. This season is one big disappointment. If only reaching the 1/4 finals of the Europa League can become an ornament. And even then, a crushing defeat from West Ham in the last match. Poor defense is still the weak point of the team.

At the same time the “canaries” were pleasantly surprised in the confrontation against Rennes. On a wave of joy after winning the country's cup, they played open football with the red-blacks and deservedly won. On the other hand, the tournament situation is not pressing them, the visitors got into European competitions, why not try to please the fans on the wave of success. For eight rounds, Nantes lost only one match, and then with Marseille, and how productively Comboiret's wards are at the finish line! All the main players recovered, the team had a bright season and improved significantly compared to the previous one.
The odds of the bookmakers for this match are not entirely logical as they see Lyon as obvious favorite. Maybe due to the fact that Nantes allegedly does not need anything in this confrontation? And what do the hosts need? In addition, the hosts have problems with the composition in the line of defense and midfield. We can even expect that the “canaries” to get around Lyon in the standings. Are the visitors inferior to the opponent in all respects? Definitely not.
Prediction for the match: Nantes to win with +1.5 handicap.
