Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Lyon
Match Time & Date:

21:00
Prediction: 1-1
Nice
Olympique Lyon will be aiming to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to Monaco when they host Nice to their Parc Olympique Lyonnais on Matchday 24. Les Gones failed to extend their winning run to four games, but a win over Nice will see them revive their Champions League hopes. The good news for the hosts is that Cameroon forward Karl Toko Ekambi is back from international duty, but all Kadewere, Denayer, and Aouar are sidelined with injuries.
Les Aiglons, on the other hand, suffered a 1-0 loss to Clermont in their last league match. Lyon and Nice seem to be evenly matched at the moment, and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. All Jordan Amavi, Pablo Rosario, and Jeff Reine-Adelaide should miss out with injuries for the away team.
Highlighted Player (Jerome Boateng):
After spending the 2010/2011 season at Manchester City, Jerome Boateng moved to Bayern Munich on 14 July, 2011. The 192-cm-tall defender joined the Bundesliga giants for a fee of €13.5 million and he has been playing for the Bavarians ever since. Despite the fact that his father is Ghanaian, Boateng decided to represent Germany on the international stage.
He has 15 caps for Germany U21 and represented Germany national team at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. The Bayern Munich defender produced a thrilling performance in the title game, preventing Argentine star Leo Messi from scoring. Boateng won the World Cup trophy with German and it has to be noted that he clinched his fourth Bundesliga title with Bayern Munich in the 2015/2016 season.
In 2013 he helped the mighty Bavarians win the Champions League trophy. Unlike Jerome, his older brother Kevin-Prince Boateng plays for the Ghanaian national team. The Bayern Munich defender has a contract with the Allianz Arena outfit which expires on 30 June, 2012.
