Nantes - Olympique Lyonnais predictions

Nantes may come out on top this Sunday yet, but it will be quite a struggle. They’ll be fighting a somewhat stronger team in Olympique Lyonnais. However, it’s still a relatively balanced matchup, as signified by the 3.41 for the hosts to win.

Though it won’t be the easiest match of their careers, Olympique Lyonnais should be able to pull ahead for a victory. Most online bookmakers are pricing an away win at 2.18, which gives us confidence it’s the most likely outcome.

Nantes supporters had a lot of hope for their previous matchup due to favourable betting odds in an away game. The squad even took the lead initially but ended up dropping it and having to settle for a draw and a single point towards their Ligue 1 campaign.

Olympique Lyonnais failed to snag a decisive victory in the previous round’s home game against Toulouse despite the favourable betting odds and home-field advantage. Records show that the two teams were largely neck-to-neck throughout the showdown, which ended in a rather disappointing 0:0.

The home team’s tendency to see their defence crumble under the pressure of away games is worrying – they conceded more than 5 times over the previous 3 away games. The fact that they’re at Stade de la Beaujoire - Louis Fonteneau this Sunday makes things easier for them, but not by a lot.

Based on what we’ve been seeing from Olympique Lyonnais lately, you may wish to consider placing a bet like Under 5 Goals. Their most recent two home games featured fewer than 2 total goals at the final whistle.

Nantes have no reason to feel overly confident heading into the Sunday clash against Olympique Lyonnais. With 17 to their name, the hosts are sitting in a 15th place. They are staring at the abyss and will have a difficult task ahead of them in the closing stages of the season.

Most bookmakers don’t see a clear favourite in this game. That said, Olympique Lyonnais definitely want to claim a victory as part of this Ligue 1 campaign. They’re 1 point behind a possible qualification to the Europa League.

We already have a clash between these teams to use as a reference point. Earlier in the season, Olympique Lyonnais walked to a comfortable victory. It seems that the 2.18 odds make a lot of sense, considering the information at hand.

With odds being at 2.18 with Pncl, an Away Win is an easy bet to make. They have the upper hand in this clash despite the home field disadvantage.
