Lyon vs Toulouse

   Lyon Team News- Lyon have numerous injury problems with Fofana, Fekir, Bisevic, and Kalulu are out injured. Lacazette and Bedimo are also doubtful.


Toulouse Team News- Goicoecha, is out injured. Akpa-Akpro and Spajic are both available after serving suspensions.


Although morale is low at Lyon following their defeat to Zenit midweek in the UCL which leaves them unlikely to qualify for the knockout stages they will be pleased that they are facing an out of form Toulouse team who have suffered two poor away defeats against newly promoted sides GFCO Ajaccio and Angers. Lyon are currently 6th in Ligue 1 on 16 points. Last seasons runners up will want to improve on their current position very quickly.


Toulouse are 17th in Ligue 1 on 8 points with only 1 win in 8 games. They are yet to win on their travels this season and go to Lyon this time a place that they have not won at since 1966. Toulouse are a defensive side and on the back of their most recent away defeats will be more than happy to pick up a draw today. Lyon though despite their injury woes should still have the quality to come out with a narrow victory and are strong at home being unbeaten in 20 of their last 22 games at Stade de Gerland.

VS

Lyon have kept 4 clean sheets in their 5 home games in Ligue 1 so far and have only conceded a total of 7 goals in their 10 league games. Toulouse have only scored 4 goals on the road this season in 5 games, failing to score in 2 of them.


Toulouse will make it difficult for Lyon and may even salvage a draw but I can't see them scoring with the game going to either 0-0 or 1-0 to Lyon. So Lyon to keep a clean sheet is good value I think.

Macedonia vs Ukraine

VS

Macedonia


Manager: Ljubinko Drulović
Last chance for Macedonia to give a good performance at home in front of its fans. So far the team of Macedonia is doing poorly. It only got a win so far and this took place on the last moments of the game against Luxembourg at home. All the other games were unsuccessful. After eight games it only got 3 points. Even against Luxembourg in an away game it lost. The quality of the team is not very high. There is no player like Goran Pandev on this squad who could bring the team in higher level. I believe that the team can improve but for the moment I consider that is unable to do something amazing.


Ukraine:


Manager: Mykhaylo Fomenko


The 5 points that lost against Slovakia seem to be decisive so far. The chances for qualification straight to the final stage of the tournament are few. Slovakia needs just a win while Ukraine will need to win both Macedonia and Spain and at the same time Slovakia must fail against both Belarus and Luxembourg. Ukraine is a very good team and I believe that even if it does not qualify straight to the tournament, it will qualify after the play-offs. There are also chances that it can qualify as the best third team. As long as it wins the team of Macedonia everything is possible. On the final game it will play against Spain at home. Possibly Spain will be qualified so the motivation will be only in Ukraine’s side. A win on that game ensures that Ukraine will qualify as the best third team.


Prediction: Macedonia was unable to keep a clean sheet after 8 games. It’s clear that the team has a defensive trouble. On the other hand Ukraine is using the 2 flanks, Konoplyanka and Yarmolenko and creates many troubles to its opponents especially against teams like Macedonia. The bad thing for Ukraine is that its main forward Zozulya is missing through injury. Seleznyov and Kravets however are players that can score goals and can make the difference for Ukraine. The price for Ukraine to win this game is around 1.45 to 1.50. I will choose Ukraine to score two or more goals which has a significantly higher price and is very possible to take place.
