Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Olympique Lyon
Match Time & Date:
12/08/2018
09:00 AM
Prediction: 3-1
Amiens
Thanks to a hard-fought 3-2 win over Nice on the last day of the 2017/2018 season Olympique Lyon booked their place in the Champions League qualifiers. As a result, the club chiefs decided to keep hold of key players in the summer transfer window and, no doubt, les Gones have big ambitions for the 2018/2019 season. Bruno Genesio has a number of top-class players to choose from and we predict that they are going to prove their worth on the field in the opening match of the season against Amiens. The visitors were struggling on the road in the French top flight last term and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Lyon’s party at Groupama Stadium. Memphis Depay scored 19 goals last term, meaning that the opposition defenders should have the former Manchester United man at bay.

Highlighted Player (Memphis Depay):
Memphis Depay is a Dutch winger who started his professional career at PSV Eindhoven. During the 2014/2015 Eredivisie campaign the pacey footballer was on Manchester United’s radar and on June 12, 2015 the Premier League club confirmed the signing of the Dutchman. Many people expected that he would impress in the 2015/2016 Premier League season, but the former PSV ace played below expectations for the Red Devils, scoring only two goals (one assist) during the season.
After playing only for league games for Man Utd in the 2016/2017 season, Memphis Depay was sold to Olympique Lyon on January 20, 2017. Depay signed a four-and-a-half year deal with les Gones for a fee of around £16 million. The Dutch winger was producing fine performances for Lyon in the 2016/2017 season; he scored five goals for the club, while providing eight assists for his teammates.
Memphis Depay made his senior debut for Netherlands on October 15, 2013 in a 2-0 win over Turkey. Depay did well to win the 2011 European Championship with Netherlands U17 team.
Highlighted Team (Amiens):
Amiens is a French football club that compete in Ligue 1. Les Licornes (The Unicorns) finished the 2016/2017 Ligue 2 campaign in second place in the standings and, as a result, they secured promotion to the French top flight for the first time ever. Amiens got their job done on the final day of the season, with Emmanuel Bourgaud scoring a late winner in the game against Reims. The club was founded back in 1901 by a group of players from the Association du Lycee d’Amiens and nowadays les Licornes play their home games at Stade de La Licorne.
The capacity of the venue is 12.097 and it was opened on July 24, 1999. Experienced midfielder Mathieu Bodmer joined the club in the summer of 2017 and he is considered one of the team’s best players. The experienced defender used to play for the likes of Lyon, Lille, and Paris Saint-Germain in the past.
Amiens play their home games in white shirts and white shorts, while they wear black when playing on the road.
