LYN vs REI Dream11 MATCH PREVIEW:
Olympique Lyonnais can go second in the table in the Ligue 1 when host Stade Reims at Parc Olympique Lyonnais, in Lyon, on Friday night (IST).

Lyon:
Lyon have had a decent season up until now. Had it not for PSG’s utter dominance, they could have been in the title race with a genuine chance of winning it.

Mathematically, Lyon are still in the title race, but 15 points separate them and the Parisians at the top who also have a game in hand. For them to usurp Neymar and Co, they need PSG to bottle it up and suffer too many brain-wash games, which is unthinkable.

As things stand, the Les Gones are 3rd in the table, two points behind Lille who have played a game more than them. So this is Lyon’s game which they will be aiming to win to move back to 2nd and become the best of the rest.

Scoring goals are not the problem for Lyon this season. With 30 goals from the first 18 league games, they have scored the joint second most goals in Ligue 1. But their defence has let them down on many occasions, letting in 21 goals while keeping just three clean sheets.

Things need to shore up in every department if Lyon are to finish in the top three as Ligue 1 has only three places for the Champions League football.

Last time around, Nabil Fekir and Co. fell to a shock 1-2 home defeat against Strasbourg in the Coupe de la Ligue.

Stade Reims:

Considering Stade de Reims only got promoted this season, their current standing is quite incredible. With 26 points from the first 19 games of the season, they sit at 9th in the table heading into their next encounter.

This is an away game for them and facing Lyon in an away game is one of the toughest assignment for any football manager. And considering how Reims have been fairing on the road this season, the game is destined to test their temperamental and perseverance at the Groupama Stadium.

Reims’ boss David Guion hasn’t been able to find the solution to their away troubles. Their last victory away from the comfort of home came in October 2018 when they defeated Rennes 2-0 with the other coming in the very first game of the season against OGC Nice.

Can they get the “Away Monkey” off their back in this game?
