Lyon - St Etienne (Ligue 1)

Lyon welcomes St Etienne in the last match of the 33rd round of the French Ligue 1. The game will be played at the "Stade de Gerland" and as all meetings of the league will be forwarded directly on the site of Bet365.com where we can find odds of 1.80 for the home side, with a draw at 3.50 and 4.75 for the victory of the guests.

Lyon continues with its leadership in the league and as everyone expected has no problems in the past 32nd round when won at home with 2:0. "The kids" had no problems against Bastia and victory was deserved, as the team dominated in the whole match. One of the creative midfielders in the face of Clement Grenier is already online, after an absence of nearly three months. The Frenchman was released a few minutes in the last round, but against St Etienne will be a hard holder. Grenier is the right weapon, which is required by Hubert Fournier to keep the position of leadership. In staffing plan there are no problems before Fournier and the only injured in his composition is the defender Mouhamadou Dabo.

St Etienne takes the fifth place and they have very little chance to qualify in the top four and to ensure participation in the European tournaments. Undoubtedly, the team play a good season, but in the last two rounds showed surprisingly poor performance, especially against the 10th Nantes, against who won with the minimum 1:0. Christophe Galtier wants presence in the Champions League, which is more or less far-fetched, even with the fact that in the ranks of Saint Etienne are many talented players in each position. Out against Lyon is the defender Franck Tabanou, who was injured last week.

The battles between Lyon and St Etienne are always interesting and intriguing derbies no matter in what shape are the players. Saint Etienne can always serve problems for today`s rival, as did recently with Marseille and Monaco. Earlier in the season, Lyon received a sonorous slap from St Etienne with defeat by 3-0, so now will seek revenge with strong win in this match.

Recommended bet: For Lyon @ 1.80 at bet365
