Lyon hosts Nantes in round 8 of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Saturday, September 28th at Parc Olympique Lyonnais (Lyon)
After a powerful start of the season, Lyon slowed down a little bit, and it’s hard to disagree - in the last 6 matches, the team suffered two defeats and tied four times. 3 days after the game with Nantes, Lyon will need to go to Germany for a match with Leipzig in the Champions League. And it surely can raise the issue of saving power and rotating the squad, but Silvinho played himself. He knows very well that you need to win before an important match to feel the taste of victory and gain confidence in your abilities. Besides, even considering that the emphasis is on the Euro cups, Lyon should not let go of the situation in the local arena. The Kids are already on the 11th line and lag behind the leader by as much as 6 points, and they simply must score three points in the upcoming match. Lyon plays quite well against Nantes in the home field - in total, the teams played 17 times on the Lyon’s pitch, and the Kids won 15 times, that is, the hosts' advantage seems obvious.

Nantes does not have Euro cups in this season, so the team can fully concentrate on the local championship meetings - in the first 7 games, the “canaries” won 4 times, and one draw was recorded. Such indicators correspond to the fourth line in the standings. However, Nantes plays far from the best way on the road – it lost twice in three away games and managed to beat only Amiens (2-1), but the Canaries lost to Lille and Strasbourg. It seems to me that it will be very difficult to score points in the confrontation with a historically uncomfortable opponent; after all, Lyon has a higher class of performers.
It seems to me that it is worth betting on the hosts’ victory. The lopsided score is hardly worth the wait, but you can predict a confident win of the Kids. Yes, Lyon needs to save its strength for the Euro cup match, especially since it will be played away, but it simply must break the unpleasant streak. The team needs positive emotions, and the opponent is rather comfortable.
Prediction for the match: Lyon to win
