Prediction: 2-2
Lyon
All eyes will be on Allianz Riviera when Nice and Olympique Lyon lock horns in the Ligue 1 round 25. Les Aiglons are on a four-game winning run in the national championship and they must be high on confidence ahead of Sunday’s showdown. Bearing any fresh injury worries, manager Franck Haise is unlikely to make changes to the team that outplayed St Etienne 3-1 at the weekend.
Les Gones, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Brest. As Lyon have been showing signs of improvement up front, we believe that punters from all around the world can find value in betting on both teams to score. Alexandre Lacazette, who scored a brace against les Pirates, will be the man to watch in the away team, while Nicolas Tagliafico returns from suspension. Defender Abner Vinicius remains in the recovery room, but the 24-year-old should be the only absentee in the away team.
Highlighted Player (Nemanja Matic):
Nemanja Matic is a Serbian footballer who plays for Premier League side Chelsea. The 194-cm-tall midfielder was born on 1 August, 1988 and he began his football career (youth) at Radnicki Obrenovac.
In 2005 he signed for Kolubara and after impressing with Kosice in the 2008/2009 campaign, Chelsea owners decided to sign him. Nemanja spent the 2010/2011 season on loan at Vitesse and at the end of the season he signed a deal with Portuguese giants Benfica, with David Luiz heading in the other direction.
Matic was in the form of his life in the 2013/2014 Primeira Liga campaign and he helped the Eagles clinch the domestic trophy. He rejoined Chelsea in 2014 for a fee of €25M and he helped the Blues win the Premier League title in the 2014/2015 season. Nemanja Matic has also developed into a key member of the Serbian national team that have been largely struggling of late.
