It seems that Lyon finally get into rhythm, but it is too late. They will not get their eight title and they are fighting now for second place, but it will be also hard. They are four points behind Marseille and there is only two rounds left. First one is against Caen, who is in desperate need for points.
Lyon showed against Marseille they are still very strong team, but they are always best against the strongest teams. It is obvious that leading players lost their motives in France and after defeat against Barcelona in Champions League they entered into black series and stay without any chance to defend a title. Juninho and Benzema will probably leave Lyon after this season. Lyon will take big money for them, especially for young Benzema, and new era will start. Juninho is key man in their seven titles in a row, he could play in any club in Europe, but he was loyal to Lyon. He was mind of this team and everything started and ended with him. He is still capable for big things and he showed it with his free kick against Marseille. It would be impossible to find same player as Juninho and Lyon could totally change tactics in next season.
In the beginning of the season you couldn’t hear so much how Caen will be in trouble in this season. Almost everyone predicted upper part of the table for them, but they spend almost whole season in relegation zone. Everything started bad with some injuries of key players. Team couldn’t find solutions without them and even when they become fit again team was without self confidence and they had a lot of problems. Caen managed to get out of relegation zone with two wins at home, but in finish of the season they are playing against Lyon and Bordeaux and it seems that only Sent Etienne can save them. Sochaux is poit behind them, but I think Sochaux will get some point till the end, while St. Etienne is in very bad form. St. Etienne have same number of points, but Caen is much better in goal difference and if they finished season with same number of points Caen will be the better team.
I will try with Asian handicap here. Lyon is very good team, much better than guests and they could easily thrashed Caen as a gift to fans before end of the season. Some of the players are playing last match at Gerland and they will try to make a spectacle for the crowd.
