Key Highlights

On the other hand, Nantes are 14th, having amassed 29 points from their 27 matches so far. Their form isn’t great, either. They have just one win from their last seven games.
Injury Report
Both teams have a few major injury concerns to worry about. First-choice goalkeeper, Anthony Lopes, won’t be starting in between the posts for Lyon due to a broken finger. Jérome Boateng and Malo Gusto won’t be available due to injury as well.
Andy Delort has scored two goals for Nantes; they came clutch to take them through the next round in the Coupe De France. Delort will be missing the match due to a calf injury. Charles Traoré, Coco and Quentin Merlin will also be missing the game.
Prediction
Given how tricky the goals option is, our pick for today is a straight win for Les Gones. The odds for a home win is 1.71 (-140 American; 71/100 Fractional).
