Olympique Lyonnais - Nantes betting tips and odds

The odds are definitely leaning in the hosts’ favour, but this match is far from a done deal. Judging by odds alone, Nantes may yet be able to walk away with a draw or even a surprise victory – though it’s still a longshot.

From the present standpoint, the situation is obvious. Given the strength of Olympique Lyonnais and the 5.50 odds given to Nantes to win, it is clear that anything but a home win would be an unexpected upset.

Olympique Lyonnais are looking to get back to winning ways following a difficult Ligue 1 trip. They were up against a strong rival but held well away from home. Level after 45 minutes, they managed to preserve a point in what ended up being a Lille.

While Nantes’s previous Ligue 1 match didn’t end in triumph, the 2:2 draw is a net positive for them. Despite playing at home, the odds were still against them - 3.00, to be exact. Still, the teams proved to be evenly matched both at half-time and the final result.

Olympique Lyonnais gans are hoping for better defensive performance then what they’ve seen in away games. The previous three matches featured 6 conceded goals.

Results and standings notwithstanding, Nantes have run into some defensive issues in this stretch of the Ligue 1. In the past 3 matches, they allowed more than 5 goals to their opponents, which may be cause for concern for their supporters.

Olympique Lyonnais may be the favourites in this matchup, but they’ve yet to prove they can conclusively defeat Nantes this season. They had several opportunities to do so, and all ended with a tied result.

Though the odds are against the visitors, at least they’ll be in a position to put up as much of a fight as possible. All of their lineup is accounted for in this match, with no issues from suspensions or injuries.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 1.83, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
