Troyes - Olympique Lyonnais

At the end of November in Montpellier dates the last victory of Lyon and since then counts a defeat and four consecutive draws that would have been almost five if this defeat had not come in 92 'inside Reims.

It has lost significant ground in terms of fulfilling its goals and the visit to Troyes makes the victory imperative. Especially after the very good performance he made hosting Paris Saint-Germain where he was ahead before the first ten minutes of the match were completed, he could seal the victory, he did not do it and equalized a quarter before the end. He is 6 points away from the top five with less competition and wants the victory not only for scoring reasons but also to go with good psychology to the midweek derby with the tail this year at St. Etienne.

Troyes is away from the obligations of the match after the match with Montpellier was postponed due to incidents and its most recent game was held three days before Christmas where it lost 1-1 in Brest. Earlier, he was eliminated in the cup by the tail of Ligue 2, Nancy. He fights with his fingernails and teeth to stay away from the last places, he has not done normal training and to this were added absences of key players who traveled to Africa for the respective event.

Lyon also has absences, but definitely a better roster and the distance away from the victories is long to allow another failure for the great French team. I estimate that it will have an upward course from now on with this game as a reference point and I will bet on its victory.
