Prediction: 1-2
Lyon
High-flying Olympique Lyon will be aiming to build on a splendid 4-3 win over Lille when they face Clermont on Sunday evening. Les Gones have been scoring goals for fun of late, with the team reviving their Conference League hopes and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play in the season finale. Both Fofana and Balde are pushing for a start after the duo got their names on the scoresheet against les Dogues, while there are no fresh injury worries in the away team.
Les Lanciers are stuck in the relegation zone with only 25 points on their account. As the rock-bottom side experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-1 loss to Monaco, we are tempted to put our money on the in-form visitors. Kosovo forward Elbasan Rashani is back from suspension, while all Jim Allevinah, Maxime Gonalons, and Cheick Oumar Konate remains in the recovery room.
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.
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.
