Lyon continue their Ligue 1 title quest with a home game against struggling Caen on Saturday.
Lyon are fourth in France’s top flight with a record of 10 wins, nine draws and two losses leaving them 10 points off leaders Paris St Germain after 22 rounds of fixtures.
Therefore they desperately need to keep racking up points in order to not fall further behind, and they have been doing that in recent weeks. , taking four points from their last two outings.
Lyon will be confident of collecting three more this weekend and the bookmakers expect them to do that, making Remi Garde’s side their 2/4 favourites to win this match.
Caen are fourth-from-bottom with a record of five wins, five draws and 11 losses leaving them just one point clear of the relegation zone, but they do hold a game-in-hand over most of the teams around them.
However, a game-in-hand does not guarantee points and Caen will be aiming to take something from this match or they could find themselves in the relegation zone at the end of play on Saturday. Caen come into this match in poor form having lost their last four games in all competitions and they are 8/1 to end that sequence with a shock win, while the draw is priced 16/5.
