Prediction: 1-1
Lyon
All eyes will be on Stade Francis-Le Ble when Brest and Olympique Lyon face each other in the Ligue 1 round 17. Les Pirates have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating both Strasbourg and Nantes, while losing to Lille and Angers. All Pierre Lees-Melou, Julien Le Cardinal, and Bradley Locko remain in the recovery room, while duo Karamoko Dembele – Jonas Martin is rated doubtful for Saturday’s clash.
Les Gones, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Montpellier, but beating Brest away from home is easier said than done. A close encounter is on the cards at “Francis-Le Ble” and we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. Left-back Nicolas Tagliafico is back from suspension, while midfielder Maxence Caqueret is a major doubt and the 24-year-old will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
Highlighted Player (Alexandre Lacazette):
Alexandre Lacazette is a hometown boy of Lyon, a powerful striker who went through the youth ranks of the French side to become one of the most important players for Les Gones. The 25-year-old forward was also a member of all France national team selections becoming a European champion at the age of 19 by scoring the winner in the final against Spain.
This goal gave him a reputation of a big game player, one he went on to uphold on various occasions at his club. Lacazette is a hard working forward an accomplished finisher of the ball able to score from different positions. The most prolific striker in his side and among the top ones in the Ligue 1, Alexandre Lacazette scored more than 20 league goals last two seasons on a trot.
Constantly linked with a move away from Lyon, Alexandre Lacazette refuses to speak about anything other than his football and is leaving all the talk to the football pitch.
