France League Cup match preview: O. Lyon - Lille

Written by: Saso Published: 10-01 11:32:49

Defense crisis

Possible starting line up: Lloris, Dabo, Umtiti, Gonalons, Cissokho, Kallstrom, Fofana, Briand, Gourcuff, Bastos, Lisandro Lopez. Lyon coach Remi Garde is facing a defensive crisis for this match. Dejan Lovren and Anthony Reveilliere are both doubtful with injuries. Cris is also sidelined, while three more players are on international duties. Bakary Kone, Sidy Kone and John Mensah are with their national teams preparing for the upcoming African Cup of Nations. It is clear Lyon will be very handicapped for this match.

In good form

Possible starting line up: Landreau, Debuchy, Chedjou, Rozehnal, Beria, Balmont, Mavuba, Pedretti, Cole, Jelen, Hazard. Lille is in good form at the moment. At Saturday they trashed low division Chantilly with 6:0 in cup. Before that they played an incredible match with Nice in League 1. That match had eight goals, finishing 4:4. The four goals were scored by four different players, Fongang, Joe Cole, Hazard and Balmont. There are no injury problems for Lille, but Moussa Sow is on international duty with his national team Senegal preparing for the African Cup of the Nations.

I expect goals at Gerland

I expect goals at Stade Gerland. Lyon have lot of problems in the defense and Lille strikers are in great form. But Lyon strikers are also good, the attack will be leaded by Lisandro Lopez, with Michel Bastos and Yoann Gourcuff behind him. Lyon won 3:1 at Sunday against neighbor Lyon-Duchere in the French cup. Finally, the most important reason is connect with the tradition. Interesting, the last five mutual games have ended with Over 2.5 goals all. This season Lille won 3:2 on 28.08.2011, while last season both teams obtained one victory as guests. Lille won 2:1 on 06.03.2011, while Lyon won 3:1 on 24.10.2010. I believe this is gonna be another efficient match.
