Ivory Coast – Algeria Free Betting Tips
Olympique de Lyon
This season, the “Olympians” have had problems with their lack of killer instincts. In 20 league games, there have been 7 wins and 8 draws so far. This puts them in eleventh place in the middle of the table – with 28 points, they are 5 points away from the international starting positions. The goal difference is just positive, 28:27.
They should not show any weakness against the equipment below if they want to catch up. The balance at home can be improved: only 4 victories in 10 matches. December last year was anything but satisfying for Lyon. Not a single game was won: the balance of 3 draws and 1 defeat is more than modest for a club like the former series champion.
The second half of the season started well. They drew 1-1 against dominant Paris Saint Germain, and against Troyes, threatened by relegation, got the forced victory away from home.
St Étienne
With 10 titles, AS St Étienne is the (still) record champion of France. But the verdiblancos can no longer buy anything from the successes of the past. If the change does not happen soon, the 10-time Ligue 1 winner will have to be relegated to the second division.
In the 20 games played so far, they have only scored 12 points. The goal difference is a catastrophic 18:42. It wasn’t until mid-December that officials reacted and brought in Pascal Dupraz, 59, an experienced coach with a proven track record in relegation battles.
But not even the new coach could stop the negative streak. Under Dupraz, the club has suffered two defeats. Especially bitter: both games were lost at the club’s own stadium. A bitter blow, also for the morale of the team.
LYON WINS FIRST HALF – Odds: 1.70
