Prediction: 2-2
Lyon
Lorient and Olympique Lyon square off against each other at Stade du Moustoir in a highly-anticipated Ligue 1 game. Les Merlus desperately needed a win against Brest, and they managed to get one, with the team escaping the relegation zone. Lorient, though, are only two points clear of bottom three, meaning that Friday’s clash is of big importance for them. Both Stephane Diarra and Fabien Lemoine are sidelined with injuries, while talented forward Ibrahima Kone should be recalled to the starting XI after scoring the winner at Brest.
Les Gones, on the other hand, suffered a 1-0 loss to Lille in their last league fixture, with the team dropping to 10th position in the standings. Lyon now have slim chances of booking their place in the Champions League, but they could still secure a top-five finish. Since Les Gones will go for a win as well, both teams to score betting option should be considered. All Cherki, Denayer, and Pintor are injured for the visiting side.
Highlighted Player (Thomas Monconduit):
Thomas Monconduit is a product of Auxerre football academy. The midfielder made a great progress during his spell with the Stade de l’Abbe-Deschamps outfit and continued playing for the club at senior level. Monconduit scored three goals in 63 appearances for Auxerre II and he played 42 games for the first team from 2012 to 2014.
In 2015 he joined Amiens and you should bear in mind that the 178-cm-tall midfielder made 36 appearances for les Licornes in the 2016/2017 Ligue 2 campaign. Amiens finished the season in second place in the standings and, as a result, they secured promotion to the French top flight. Thomas Monconduit scored three goals during the season and, no doubt, he played a very important role in Christophe Pelissier’s team in the 2016/2017 season.
His main position is central midfield, but he is capable of playing as a defensive midfielder as well. Thomas Monconduit has a contract with Amiens which expires on June 30, 2018 and his preferred foot is right. Louis DENOLLE is the player’s agent.
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.
