Match Time & Date:

19:45 GMT
Prediction: 3-1
OGC Nice
Olympique Lyon quickly bounced back from a 1-0 loss to Reims, with the team beating Strasbourg 2-0 at their Groupama Stadium. Les Gones obviously produce much better showings at home than on the travels and it is no surprise they are considered hot favourites to win Friday’s football game against Nice, who were outclassed by Dijon at the weekend. Bruno Genesio’s troops are eager to stay in the race for the Ligue 1 title and we predict that they are going to pick up all three points from Friday’s clash. Les Aiglons, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in the 4-0 loss to Dijon and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Lyon’s party at Groupama Stadium. In their last meeting in Lyon les Gones recorded a 3-2 win over Mario Balotelli and Co.

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.
