A win can gift Olympique Lyon top spot
Lyon are in a fierce three way battle for the Ligue 1 championship this season. They can’t afford any “Faux Pas” if they want to stay in the top three and continue their fight.
In their last match they beat Strasbourg 3-0. Coach Rudi Garcia will make sure his team stays in focus and continue their form of four consecutive wins.
They have been very resilient in the back with just four goals conceded in the last six matches.
Montpellier to push for Europa League
In their last match Montpellier had their first win in nine matches by defeating Dijon 4-2. Although they are at 11th place in the table, the difference between them and 5th place Rennes is six points and they might still be in chance for a Europa League place.
22 goals have been scored in Montpelier’s last six matches with an average of 3.67 goals per game, scoring nine goals and conceding 13.
Key Stats
- Lyon has won the last two home matches
