Lyon - Nimes Prediction, Picks and Tips
The tenth matchday of Ligue 1 is just around the corner. The seven-time French champions Olympique Lyon receives the newly promoted Olympique Nimes in the Groupama Stadium. For both clubs it is about a lot. After recent rather mixed results, Lyon can be found in sixth place in the table and must win in order not to lose the connection to the international places. Nimes, on the other hand, owes it only to their own good start to the season that they are not on a relegation zone. That makes it all the more important to take at least one point in Lyon.
"Les Gones" have been without victory for three games. They did not manage to beat Nantes 1-1 on matchday eight, but in the Champions League game against Donezk it was only enough for a 2-2 draw and on the final day before the break of the national team a 0-5 hail came over the French champions from Paris. Kylian Mbappé scored four goals and shot down the team of coach Bruno Génésio almost single-handedly. After nine games, they have 14 points on the credit side with a goal difference of 14:12. That's just enough for sixth place. Bordeaux lurking just behind them. Even though their own goal balance does not look rosy, with 14 goals scored, they are the fifth best league storm in the league. Even before the game against Paris Saint-Germain, they even set one of the best defenses of the Ligue 1. To put it in a nutshell: It lacks consistency. But that is missing, is not to be expected with such a young team and quite understandable. But not only the youth and the associated lack of cold-bloodedness, the men of Génésio are visibly hard to act against low-profile opponents. At home Lyon likes to constrict their opponents with plenty of possession. Nimes will want to exploit this and presumably limit himself to switching situations. Génésio has to do without Rafael, Kenny Tete, Nabil Fekir and Lucas Tousart. The stakes of Maxwel Cornet and Bertrand Traoré are still questionable.
The climber from the south of France kicked off with two victories in the new season: 4: 3 against Angers SCO and 3-1 against Olympique Marseille. What followed would not have been thought possible. None of the following seven games could be won. Three defeats face four draws. This puts them in 14th place in the table. Thanks to their good start, they have an opening balance of 13:16 and ten points on the account, four points clear of the table-18. Monaco. The fact that this game is so important for the team of coach Bernard Blaquart also illustrates the upcoming games. On the eleventh matchday, AS Saint-Etienne is just waiting for the next big hit on Nimes. It follows a relegation battle duel against Dijon on the twelfth matchday. What the giants of "Les Crocodiles" certainly should not calm down even further, is the fact that they have not scored a goal for three matchdays and set with their 16 goals the second worst defensive value of the league. We summarize: To give a tip on Nimes, seems to be purely footballian not a good choice for the time being. Whether bets could still be worth it decides, as always, the quota, which we want to analyze in the conclusion.
