Prediction: 1-2
Lyon
Buoyed by a hard-fought 1-0 win over Rennes, Lorient will look to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they take on Olympique Lyon at Stade du Moustoir on Sunday. Les Merlus did defeat les Rouges et Noirs in their opener, but it has to be noted that the hosts dominated the match from the first whistle. Midfielder Julien Ponceau remains in the recovery room, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
Les Gones, on the other hand, kicked off the new Ligue 1 campaign with a 2-1 win over Ajaccio. Olympique Lyon aim to stay in the title race with PSG as longer as possible, and seeing that Lorient were more than fortunate to beat Rennes at the weekend, away win should be considered. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be returnee Alexandre Lacazette, while all Mousa Dembele, Romain Faivre, Jeff Reine-Adelaide, and Maxence Caqueret continue to miss out with injuries.
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.
