  • are without an away win for the past 2 league matches.

🤜🤛 Head to head

Looking at their past head to head meetings going back to 18/01/2020 tells us that these encounters have not been good ones for Nantes. They’ve not managed to get any wins whatsoever whereas Lyon have just been stronger than them, winning in 83% of those match-ups.

In all, 19 goals were produced between them in this period, with 13 of them for Lyon and 6 coming from Les Canaris. That is an average goals per game value of 3.17.

The previous league encounter featuring these sides was Ligue 1 match day 18 on 11/01/2023 which ended up with the score at Nantes 0-0 Lyon.

In that match, Nantes had 39% possession and 13 attempts at goal with 5 of them on target.

On the other side, Lyon had 10 shots on goal with 6 of them on target.

The match was refereed by Marc Bollengier.

🗞️ Team News: Lyon

The Lyon manager Laurent Blanc will be grateful to have no fitness worries to speak of before this match with a fully healthy group to pick from.

It’s our opinion that Lyon look set to make use of the 4-3-1-2 formation for the game with Remy Riou, Sael Kumbedi, Dejan Lovren, Castello Lukeba, Nicolas Tagliafico, Maxence Caqueret, Corentin Tolisso, Johann Lepenant, Amin Sarr, Alexandre Lacazette and Bradley Barcola.

🗞️ Team News: Nantes

In an otherwise full-strength group, there’s only the sole fitness issue for the Nantes gaffer Antoine Kombouaré to be concerned about. Quentin Merlin (Tear in the abductor muscle) won’t be playing here.

We reckon that Les Canaris might utilise a 4-3-3 formation by sending out Alban Lafont, Fabien Centonze, J. Castelletto, Nicolas Pallois, Joao Victor, Moussa Sissoko, Andrei Girotto, Florent Mollet, Evann Guessand, Moses Simon and Mostafa Mohamed.

💡 Prediction

We envisage that Lyon are likely to dominate possession and create several successful chances.

At the other end, Nantes won’t find it easy to get shooting opportunities but we can see them converting at least once here.

We’re therefore expecting to see a comfortable 3-1 victory for Lyon at full-time.
