Betting Tip

Nancy was surprise for almost everyone last season. They were leader almost whole first part of the campaign, but in last three rounds they hadn’t had enough strength, so now they are playing only in UEFA Cup.

Lyon, on the other side, had played with big oscillations, but at the end they showed once again they are absolutely untouchable in France. It seems they learned something from last season. Young players are more experienced now and result is visible. Benzema is in top form, Juninho is again like in a few seasons before. Injury is history and now there is really no one to stop this team in France. Finally, they could do something in CL.

Good thing for guests is the fact that Lyon will play second match of CL against Bayern in Munich and that will distract players for sure. After just one point from match against Fiorentina, Puel’s team must try to do something in Germany. Due to the fact that they have four points advantage on the top of the table, they will play without pressure. Puel will rest some of the most important players, like he did a couple times earlier in similar situations. I don’t expect to see Juninho or Benzema, but maybe they will come from the bench in case of bad result.

Nancy is still same team from last season. Defense is key for their result and every player is behind the ball when they are defending. But, with four or five very fast players they transform fast in counter attack and that tactics worked for them last season. You won’t see many goals in Nancy matches, but lots of running and battle for every ball are guarantied. They have 4 draws after 6 games, but that is nothing uncommon for Nancy.

Excellent defense and attackers which are able to score from just one or two chances was their trademark. This season is going to be slightly different because they will play in Europe as well. Last time they were very good in UEFA Cup, but in suffer domestic competitions. Limited squad was main reason for that and though rhythm of playing could make problems in French championship. You shouldn’t expect that Nancy will repeat games from the last season.

Odds for Lyon’s victory are very low, unrealistic low, and I will skip it. Instead of that, I will try with over 2.5 goals. Lyon will win this match, but Nancy will score here from one of counters. In last few season matches between these rivals you couldn’t see many goals, but this time will be different. Lyon will be in Munich in mind and that will give chance for guests.
