Prediction: 1-2
Olympique Lyon
Caen take on Olympique Lyon at Stade Michel d’Ornano in what is expected to be one of the most interesting games of Saturday’s program. Caen recorded their first win of the season against Dijon and, no doubt, they are high on confidence ahead of the visit of Lyon. The hosts aim to extend their unbeaten run in the French top flight to four games, but they will have a big fish to fry in the football match against the star-studded visitors. Les Gones failed to turn their dominance into goals in a 1-0 loss to Nice and they are certainly eager to get back on course. Olympique Lyon are not regarded as good travelers, but seeing that they want this win more than Caen, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the away team. A man to watch in the away team will be former Manchester United attacker Memphis Depay.

Highlighted Player (Frédéric Guilbert):
Despite his modest height for a centre-back, Frederic Guilbert is a remarkably strong in aerial duels. Former France U21 international is a player of great positional awareness and tactical discipline who makes immense defensive contribution for his team. A versatile defender who can play in various positions across the backline, Guilbert can also be deployed as a right midfielder where his speed and agility come to play. Born in Valognes, Frederic Guilbert spent all of his career playing in France although he has thus far failed to spend more than two seasons at a single club. Spells at Caen, AS Cherbourg, Bordeaux were insufficient for Guilbert to secure regular playing time and prove his worth, which he hopes would change at Caen. Guilbert joined the Stade Michel d’Ornano based club on a permanent deal in 2017, after a season-long loan spell away from Bordeaux. He went on to play 42 matches across all competitions in his second season with Caen and has done well to announce himself as an important player for the French side.
Highlighted Team (Olympique Lyon):
Commonly referred to as Lyon, Olympic 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.
