THE PREDICTION
The home team come into this on the back of an ill-tempered affair against Monaco last weekend in which they probably ended their opposition’s hopes of winning the title. They have boosted their own hopes of a top three finish and Champions League qualification with that victory. They come up against a Lorient side who remain in trouble of relegation but do have some breathing space. Lyon need to win this to maintain hopes of finishing in the top three so there should be no complacency and they will come into this one as favourites in a match that should also be quite high-scoring.
