THE PREDICTION
From a title challenge to off and on the pitch chaos in the space of about three months. That is Lyon’s current situation. The need to sell Maxwel Cornet to Burnley in order to fund a cut-price move for Xherdan Shaqiri, the banished and soon-to-be terminated Marcelo as well as just one point from their opening two games leaves Peter Bosz, the fairly maligned new boss, under pressure already. They come up against newly promoted Clermont Foot that went to Bordeaux on the opening day and won 2-0 before backing that up with another win at home to Troyes. Their first ever season in the top-flight has started with a bang. Three goals from Mohamed Bayo will give the visitors the confidence to score and Bosz’s football is known for being overly attacking so over 2.5 goals looks a good bet for this one.
