Lyon vs Lens Prediction & Betting Tips (4 May)

Olympique Lyonnais, brilliant winner of Rennes 4-1 last weekend, shows that it has its shoulders to bounce back. The Rhone club, just overthrown in the quarterfinals of the Europa League by Manchester United and beaten in the derby in Saint-Etienne 2-1, had just lived the most trying week of its season. By offering itself Stade Rennais to Groupama Stadium, the players of Paulo Fonseca, 5th in the ranking, remain in contact with the podium. The 3rd having 2 points ahead before the start of the 32nd day, Lyon still has all its chances of climbing on the box on the evening of the 34th day to ensure direct qualification in the Champions League. Lens will not play a European Cup next season. An outcome formalized after his heavy home defeat against Auxerre 0-4.

The Artesian club is 8th at 9 units from 7th place when there are 9 points to take. Winner in Brest 1-3 two weeks ago, he is more efficient out of his bases than at home this season. The RCL has the third best accounting assessment of the championship outside. His irregularity for several weeks has been lacking, however. 

In Lyon, Paulo Fonseca must continue to plan without the winger Nuamah, a serious knee injury to the end of the season and forced him to miss the first part of the next. Compared to the match against Rennes, the Portuguese coach loses his top scorer Lacazette (13 league goals), suspended. In the podium race, Fonseca should not change his eleven in broad outline. Mikautadze (10 goals in Ligue 1) will take place at the forefront of the attack, probably in front of Cherki, Almada and Fofana. Cherki is involved in 18 championship achievements. Desireux to erase defense deficiencies, Will Still sees the return of the Medina frame with a good eye.

The Argentinian central should reintegrate the starting eleven. The blood and gold, however, remain deprived of Lascary, Satriano, Chavez and Petric labeau, all absent over time, and lose Sotoca (1 goal), suspended in turn. Drunted in the hierarchy in attack, Nzola, author of 6 achievements in Ligue 1, recently paid for his attitude. He could be dismissed by his coach for a third meeting of rank.
