Prediction: 3-1
Metz
Olympique Lyon will be aiming to cement top position in the standings when they host Metz at their Parc Olympique Lyonnais on Sunday evening. Les Gones showed character in their last league match, with the team coming from two goals behind to share the spoils with Rennes. Olympique Lyon have been impressive in front of goal of late, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play against Metz.
As always, a man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Dutch attacker Memphis Depay, who scored his 11th goal of the season at the weekend. Moussa Dembele remains in the recovery room, while Bruno Guimaraes is out of contention following his positive test for coronavirus. Les Grenats aim to put an end to their three-game winless run, but given Lyon’s splendid form, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed.
