Nantes vs Lyon Prediction: Don't expect many goals

Prediction for the match between Nantes and Lyon, which will take place on January 11. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

After the end of the 2022 World Cup, Nantes played three official matches and never lost during this period. In the domestic championship, Nantes drew 0:0 with Troyes and minimally beat Auxerre 1:0. Note that Nantes did not concede a single goal in this period. In general, Nantes ranks 15th in the French championship table, four points ahead of relegation zone teams Brest and Auxerre. Nantes' home stats are ninth in the division, +3=4-1, 12:9 goal difference. It should be noted that only Lens, Rennes, PSG, and Lyon have conceded less in their home games.

The team had a terrible match on the last tour of Ligue 1, losing to Clermont with a score of 0:1 on the home field. However, before that, Lyon confidently beat Brest away with a score of 4:2. On January 7, they were stronger than Metz in the French Cup (2:1). While they failed the season and the last match against Clermont only worsened the situation. Before the start of the 18th round of Ligue 1, they were in eighth position, losing to Monaco, and placed in the League of Conferences 9 points zone. On the road, Lyon has the 14th statistic in the division, +2=1-5, 11:14 goal difference. Despite the awful statistic for such a club, Lyon has the second-highest possession score in the division, the third-highest accuracy of assists, and the fourth-highest number of shots.

We have written more than once about the fact that bookmakers regularly overestimate Lyon. This was the case in the match against Clermont in the last round, so that it will be in the confrontation with Nantes. The Canaries are well into the season after the 2022 World Cup, have not lost a single official match in this period, and have not conceded a single goal in their goals. We think Nantes has an excellent chance to score points in the upcoming game.

We have noticed that Nantes plays well in defense after the Mundial. At the same time, Lyon's away statistics are weak. We doubt that the upcoming match will be rich in goals.
