Ligue 1
Lyon started the new season in Ligue 1 after a very tough summer, in which the "Lions" were on the verge of being administratively relegated from the elite in France. The first duel is away against Lens.
The guests sold a lot of key players
Alexandre Lacazette, Nemanja Matic, Rayan Cherki, Jordan Ferret and many other established names from the "Lions" squad were sold in order to save the club's elite license. In their place came much lower-tier names, for modest sums. Overall, Paulo Fonseca will have a lot of problems finding a suitable starting eleven, especially in the first rounds. Lens, on the other hand, has a new coach, who was actually Lyon's previous coach - Pierre Sagnol. Probably the specialist will want to prove himself against his former team.
Bet on 1X and over 1.5 goals
I do not expect much from Lyon in the first matches of the season.
