Nantes vs Olympique Lyon Prediction and Betting Tips | April 7th 2024

Nantes will host Olympique Lyon at the Stade de la Beaujoire on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 Ligue 1 campaign.

The home side have endured yet another disappointing league campaign but continue their fight to beat the drop. They returned to winning ways in the league last weekend, with a 2-1 victory over Nice featuring an early opener from Matthis Abline before Mostafa Mohamed scored the winner from the spot in the second half.

Nantes sit 14th in the league table with 28 points from 27 matches and will be looking to add to that tally come Sunday.

Olympique Lyonnais have found good form of late and are now making a late push for the continental places. They played out a 1-1 draw against Stade Reims in their last league outing before beating second-tier Valenciennes 3-0 on Tuesday to advance to the final of the Coupe de France, where they will lock horns with Paris Saint-Germain.

The visitors sit 10th in Ligue 1 standings with 35 points and will be looking to continue their positive run of results this weekend.
