Prediction: 1-3
Olympique Lyon
Stade Auguste-Delaune II will host Friday’s football game between Reims and Olympique Marseille. Reims made a flying start to the season, with the team beating Nice on the road in their opener, but they should not stop now. The newcomers, though, face a difficult task in their first home game of the season as they play host to Lyon. Les Gones recorded a routine 2-0 win over Amiens in the opening match of the season, with Depay and Traore scoring for Bruno Genesio’s troops. Lyon are determined to put an end to PSG’s dominance in Ligue 1 and seeing that coach Bruno Genesio can count on key players for Friday’s clash, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visitors. When the two teams met at Stade Auguste-Delaune two years ago Reims outclassed Lyon 4-1, meaning that les Gones are hungry for revenge.

Highlighted Team (Olympique 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.
