Olympique Lyonnais vs Nantes Prediction and Betting Tips | December 20th 2023

Olympique Lyonnais will host Nantes at the Groupama Stadium on Wednesday in another round of the 2023-24 Ligue 1 campaign.

The home side have endured a largely turbulent campaign but have begun picking up points in recent weeks as they look to avoid a shock drop. They picked up a narrow and hard-fought 1-0 win over Monaco in their last match, with Jeffinho coming off the bench to score a late winner minutes after his introduction.

Olympique Lyonnais sit 16th in the league table with 13 points from 16 games. They are five points behind their midweek opponents and will be looking to reduce that gap with maximum points on Wednesday.

Nantes have had mixed results this season, particularly struggling for results of late and currently find themselves in the bottom half of the table. They were beaten 2-0 by Stade Brestois in their game on Sunday conceding a quickfire double early after the restart as they fell to a second straight defeat at the hands of the Pirates.

Lyon are on a run of back-to-back victories after winning just one of their 14 games prior. They have, however, won just one of their eight home games this season and could struggle here.

Nantes, on the other hand, have lost their last two games and have won just one of their last seven. They have lost four of their last five away matches and could see defeat here as well.
