Prediction: 2-2
Lyon
All eyes will be on Roazhon Park when Rennes and Olympique Lyon go head to head in the Ligue 1 derby. Rennes did well to beat PSG at home earlier in the process, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of Sunday’s clash. Martin Terrier, who has been producing fine displays in the first half of the season, is likely to prove a handful for his former teammates. Jonas Martin is banned for the hosts, while both Jeremy Doku and Jeremy Gelin are sidelined with injuries.
Les Gones, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Lens. Since Lyon are likely to stick to their attacking style of play, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Tino Kadewere has yet to serve his ban, while all Julian Pollersbeck, Moussa Dembele, Lenny Pintor, and Jeff Reine-Adelaide should miss out with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Dalbert Henrique):
Dalbert Henrique is a left-footed full back who plays for Ligue 1 side Nice. Born in Barra Mansa, Brazil, Henrique began his career in a local club Barra Mansa and in 2012 he moved to Fluminense. One year later the 182-cm-tall footballer joined Flamengo, but he did not play for “Mengao” at senior level.
Dalbert Henrique made his professional debut for Academio de Viseu and in 2015 he moved to Vitoria Guimaraes of Portugal. After making 25 appearances for the Primeira Liga club, the left-back joined Ligue 1 side Nice in 2016. Henrique made his debut for les Aiglons on August 14, 2016 in a league match against Stade de Rennais. Dalbert, who was born on September 8, 1993, has yet to earn a call-up for the Brazil national football team.
The Brazilian player has a contract with Nice which expires on June 30, 2021. His main position is left-back (full-back), but he is capable of playing as a left midfielder as well.
Highlighted Team (Lyon):
Commonly referred to as Lyon, Olympique Lyonnais is the French club which play their games at the Parc Olimpique Lyonnais with a capacity just a pinch short of 60,000. Lyon is one of the most popular clubs in France with a vast fan base on par with Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique de Marseille.
The club achieved moderate success during the 1960s and 1970s led by the likes of Bernard Lacombe and Jean Djorkaeff, while the golden era of the French side came at the start of the new millennium when Lyon began to achieve greater success both in France and on the international level.
It was not until 2002 that Lyon won their first ever Ligue 1 title which sparked an ongoing national record-breaking streak of seven successive titles. During that time Lyon were regular participants of the UEFA Champions League. The French club reached quarter-finals on two occasions, while they even played in the semi-finals in the 2009-10 season.
