Olympique Lyonnais form and stats

Olympique Lyonnais have collected 29 points from their Ligue 1 home games so far after 8-5-4.

In their previous game, the manager Blanc led his Olympique Lyonnais to a defeat away at Clermont. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Groupama OL Academy Décines-Charpieu. Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Lacazette for missing a penalty kick versus Clermont in the 90th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome. Tolisso (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.42/10. Tolisso hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 91 successful passes (of 101 total).

Before that game, the 5-4 home victory against Montpellier.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Lyon have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 5 matches with the results: Won 2, drawn 1 and lost 2.
