Lyon welcomes Caen at their "Stade de Gerland" in
a meeting of the 18th round of the French Elite League. Before this round Lyon occupy the third place in the table with a total of
33 points and is 5 points behind leaders Marseille. Caen at other side are only with 14 points.
The hosts might be placed as favourites, but we cannot forget that Caen beated them in two
of the last three meetings between the two teams and the third meeting result
was equal. These victories of Caen
were not in the Ligue 1 since championship in 2012 and this is their first
participation in the elite again.
"Lions" have stepped up the pace
this season. They have a significantly new and rejuvenated composition and for
now the coach Hubert Fournier managed to do his work. The main objective of the
team is to rank in the top three with participation in the Champions League and
why not even the first place in the championship. As we said, Lyon
are only five points from the first Marseille and four points after the second
place where is the champion Paris Saint Germain. For that stage of the
tournament, the difference is minimal and any wrong move will lead to a change
in classification.
For the past 9 games of the "Stade de
Gerland", Lyon recorded eight wins, seven
of them were in series and only one defeat. Against Caen, the coach staff will not be able to
have the supporting midfielders Geida Fofana, Clement Grenier and John Gyurkuf
because of injures.
Caen returned to Ligue 1, but probably in the next season will return to
Ligue 2, which can actually be a factor. Team of Frank Dumas enter into this
round after six consecutive matches without a win and the latest results were
slightly desperate. Against Lyon they will
have serious problems, because the team has a large number of injured and
suspended players. That fact requires some permanent changes in the starting
line-up. Main striker Dumas - Herve Basil is sidelined along with defenders
Dennis Appiah, Felipe Saad and Irondu King.
Series of negative results for Lyon against
Caen needs to
stop. Coefficient of 1.55 for the victory of Lyon
is very good and with a view to the form of both teams, we are absolutely sure
that “Lions” will take the win.
The experts from 11LiveStream claim that the final result will be in favour of Lyon Security: 9/10
Odds: 1.55 at bet365
