Prediction

  • Lyon travel to the Stade de Beaujoire hoping to make it four wins on the bounce in all competitions against a Nantes side that let slip a two-goal lead against Saint-Étienne last weekend.
  • Pierre Sage's men are full of confidence following their 4-1 dismantling of Rangers in the Europa League on Thursday, and look good value for a win on Sunday afternoon.
