My Prediction
Olympique Lyonnais by 2Here's the lowdown, like watching paint dry, it's here: Ligue 1 matchup, Saint-Étienne against Olympique Lyonnais. The boys in Saint-Étienne have Gautier Larsonneur in the net with a 6.73 rating and 10 saves. Olympique Lyonnais battles back, sending Lucas Perri in goal, 6.53 rating and 7 saves to show. Feels like watching a turtle race, doesn't it?
Olympique Lyonnais isn't short on firepower with top guys like Rayan Cherki sporting 2 goals and 85.5% pass accuracy - not exactly messy, but it'll do. Duje Ćaleta-Car, while not a goalscorer, keeps a 97.3% accurate pass rating. And don't forget about Georges Mikautadze, 2 goals under his belt, he's no stranger to the net.
Saint-Étienne responds with Lucas Stassin with a 7.17 rating and 2 goals. You got Zuriko Davitashvili with a keen eye for passing at 78.6% accuracy and Irvin Cardona with 66.7% pass accuracy but also 2 goals to his name.
Last time these two locked horns? Olympique Lyonnais managed to scrape up a 1-0 win. Like watching a mime convention, wasn't it?
Taking into account regular season records, Olympique Lyonnais sat comfortably with 15 wins, while Saint-Étienne lagged behind with a mere 6 victories. Makes you wonder if Saint-Étienne has been practicing with a bunch of baguettes instead of soccer balls.
Recent results? Olympique Lyonnais, the ever-consistent, seems to be on a streak of victories that haven't been seen since the invention of the wheel. Saint-Étienne in response seems as reliable as a chocolate teapot, handling a draw with Stade Brestois and a loss to Lens, not to mention the rollicking they got from Paris Saint-Germain.
So who gets the golden goose? Well, drumroll, please...
