Abeg, make we gist about this big match wey dey come up between Lyon and Lille for Groupama Stadium this Sunday. Na serious matter o! As e be now, Lyon dey on fire, dem don dey win back to back like say na free food!
This year, dem never lose any match wey dem play, 100% record, my people! Last week, dem hammer Metz 5-2 like child wey no sabi follow rules. And for Ligue 1 table, dem dey fourth, four points ahead of Lille wey dey fifth. You fit imagine say Lyon dey push for Champions League spot, dem dey hot like pepper soup!
Meanwhile, dem Lille boys dey look for their form, but e no dey show anywhere. Last week, dem come out for five-game losing streak but na only small victory against Freiburg wey dem take calm their hearts. As dem dey enter this match, na dem bottom of the mood. E be like say dem go need some miracle to turn things around.
Lyon don score plenty goals for their recent home matches, and dem fit run tings again this weekend. Na wetin dem dey call ‘form for home’. Plus, dem don win four out of their last five matches against Lille for Groupama Stadium. Dem dey sabi win dem, e no dey surprise again!
But make we no overlook Lille o! If dem fit continue from that humble win against Freiburg, dem fit pull surprise. After all, football na game of surprises! Na dem dey call am ‘the beautiful game’ for a reason.
As the match dey hot up, we get some injury worries, though. One or two Lyon players fit miss the game due to ankle and groin wahala, but dem still get plenty firepower. Na Endrick wey just land na him be the fresh talent wey don dey score plenty goals for dem!
On the Lille side, dem get their own injury wahala too. Some of their key players dey sidelined with various issues. But if anybody fit turn the game around for dem, na Giroud wey sabi play like say him get two legs like horse!
As we dey prepare to watch this match, no forget say na football we dey talk about. E fit go any how, but if I go put my money for this kind match, I go put am for Lyon, but with small ginger for Lille as well!
