In their previous match played last weekend, they had to chase the goal very early as they have been losing with a 0:2 result from 34th minute, but even so the players of Evian didn’t show much being only able to reduce the deficit to 1:2 in 49th minute. Their main concern still remains inefficiency, however the team showed some slight improvement in offensive part, in comparison to previous two matches that were a small even worse. Striker Kevin Berigaud (3/1) is expected to start the match after his great goal against Rennes, while the only absentee for this game will be offensive midfielder Nadjib Baouia who is still not ready for the new season.Lyon is coming from a defeat against Real Sociedad in the play-off round for Champions League group stage, as the team entered the match with a 2:0 deficit from the first leg already. They were willing to fight, but conceded the first goal in 67th minute scored by Vela, while the French side quit fighting since than at the Basques scored another one for the final 4:0 aggregate victory.
They will continue the European patch in Europa League group stage, but for now all their attention is turned to the domestic league only. Previous round saw them going down at home to Reims 0:1, as it was obvious that the players were influenced by the disappointment of the first leg loss against Sociedad. Coming back to domestic duties only, there is no doubt that the team wants a victory and start of the title race. Guests will be without Rachid Ghezzal, goalkeeper Remy Vercoutre, both still didn’t participate in the new season. Left back Mouhamadou Dabo is out with a thigh injury, while left midfielder Gael Danic continues to be out due groin injury.
Lyon is undefeated in last five matches against Evian.
Despite Evian’s inefficiency to convert chances into goals, Lyon lost their defensive stability and surely will experience problems taking all three points making both teams to score being the best bet in this one.
Bet: Both teams to score
