Nice Olympique Lyonnais betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This bout faces two teams that have been campaigning very differently in this first third of the French Championship. While Lyon tries to remain in the top three, Nice appear at the bottom of the table, trying to distance itself from the relegation zone. The home team has been presenting many defensive problems, especially in the coverage of the sides, having made many individual mistakes. 
Lyon has stood out for its offensive power, attacking a lot by the sides, just where the opponent's defense is fragile, and standing out in set pieces and individual plays. 
Thus, as we will have a great attack on the field against a poor defense, it is a good option to bet on a game with more goals than usual.

Preview
Nice and Olympique Lyonnais meet at Allianz Riviera, in a match for the 14th round of the Ligue 1. At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history indicates total balance between these two teams, since there is a record of 2 wins for each team in the last 4 matches. However, the last time these teams met at this stadium was on 14‑10‑2016, in a match for the Ligue 1, Nice won by (2‑0). The goals of the match were scored by P. Baysse (5' ) and J. Seri (76' ) for Nice. Although this is a match between 17th and 3rd of the league table, it’s actually a match between the 12th best in home matches and the 4th best in away matches.

Analysis Nice

The home team is currently in the 17th position of the league, with 14 points won, after 4 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Dijon, by (1‑0). In the last match, they tied in an away match against Caen, by (1‑1). This is a team that usually plays better at home, where they have won 10 points, against only 4 points in away matches. They come to this match after a home win against Zulte‑Waregem by (3‑1). For the league, Nice won 10 points out of 21 possible points, after 3 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses in the last 7 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 13 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Nice has a chance to add its second consecutive win in the French Championship and continue the recovery period as the team has been making a disappointing campaign so far, reaching four consecutive defeats. 
In the last round, the team had a good performance away from home against Caen, having missed a few passes, finishing with 62% of ball possession, and was winning the match until the extra time of the final stage, when allowed the draw of the opponent. 
Although it has conceded only one goal in the last two rounds, the defensive system has a great responsibility in the team's poor performance, since it is among the six most leaked. 
One of the strengths of the team is the quality of the exchange of passes, which reflects in the good average ball possession, which facilitates the creation of opportunities. 
Coach Lucien Favre has been changing frequently the team's tactical configuration, but should keep Pléa in the starting eleven.

Confirmed Lineup: Walter Benítez, Arnaud Souquet, Christophe Jallet, Marlon, Maxime Le Marchand, Dante , Jean Michaël Seri, Nampalys Mendy, Adrien Tamèze, Alassane Pléa, Mario Balotelli.
Coach: C. Galtier.

Analysis Lyon

The away team is currently in the 3rd position of the league, with 26 points won, after 7 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Saint‑Étienne, by (0‑5). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Montpellier, by (0‑0). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, with 17 goals scored and 9 goals conceded at home, against 15 goals scored and 6 conceded in away matches. In their last match, for the UEFA Europa League, they got a home win against Apollon by (4‑0). In the last 6 away league matches Olympique Lyonnais has a record of 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, so they have won 11 points out of 18 possible. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. This is a team that likes to score first. They have opened up the score in 10 of the last 13 matches for the Ligue 1, they have reached half‑time in front in 7 of those 10 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 7 of them. In the last 9 away matches for all competitions there are 2 periods that stand out: they have conceded 3 of their 8 goals between minutes (61'‑75') and 3 of their 8 goals between (76'‑90').

Lyon is going through a good phase in the French Championship, having been undefeated for seven rounds, having not conceded a goal in the last four matches, thus showing the good work of the defensive system. 
However, even more prominent has been the attack, which is the third best in the competition, with an average of 2.46 goals per game. 
In its last clash, the team dominated, but finished as much as the opponent, but without efficiency, thus registering a goalless draw at home against Montpellier. 
The team has the third best average of finalizations in the championship, and also stands out for the precision in the exchange of passes, which has made possible a good ball possession. 
Playing away from home, Lyon won 61% of the points played, and in this condition has the second best attack. 
A 4-3-3 or 4-4-2-3 tactical formation should be  the formation of choice for this match, with highlight for Fekir in the offensive sector.

Confirmed Lineup: Anthony Lopes, Kenny Tete, Marçal, Marcelo, Mouctar Diakhaby, Lucas Tousart, Houssem Aouar, Tanguy Ndombélé, Memphis Depay , Mariano Díaz, Maxwel Cornet.
Coach: P. Bosz.
