Bordeaux also have four clean sheets in their last six games at the Matmut Atlantique so we think they will give Lyon attack a run for its money. As a result of this, we're backing this match to finish 1-1 as it has been a common score in this fixture (two of the last three finishing 1-1) and both teams have reasons to be confident and weary.
Les Gones' away form has been rather up and down with them impressive against the smaller teams like Nimes (19th at time of match, 4-0), Strasbourg (12th ATOM, 2-1) and Toulouse (17th ATOM, 3-2) but struggling more when travelling to the likes of Reims (6th ATOM, 1-1), Marseille (3rd ATOM, 1-2) and Zenit (0-2) and Benfica (1-2) in the Champions League. Lyon have been putting together very good attacking numbers which may help them here though as they have scored a whopping 21 goals in their last seven outings; 14 in six if we disregard the 7-0 outlier against Bourg-en-Bresse.

Baggies pull clear as chasers falter Seventh-placed Bristol City also have 53 pointsA pivotal few days for West Bromwich Albion in the Championship promotion race?Before the midweek round of fixtures, the top end of the Championship looked as congested as the M25 on the Friday before half-term. Albion's successive away victories against Millwall and Reading in the past four days have given the Baggies a six-point lead over second-placed Leeds.
So I'm not going to sit here and try and force any blame in any other direction than myself," he said. It's disappointing, it's frustrating at the moment. We keep going, we keep fighting and see where we are. But on the evidence of the second half tonight, it's very worrying for me right now. The title race is over'- analysisFormer Rangers midfielder Derek Ferguson on SportsoundRangers had intensity before the break.
But the Ivory Coast striker was adjudged offside and on the balance of chances, West Brom should have made victory more comfortable on the night. They twice struck the crossbar in either half through Krovinovic and Callum Robinson, while Reading goalkeeper Rafael was called upon on numerous occasions to make some smart saves to keep his side in it. The Royals remain 16th as their 2020 continues to go without a Championship victory but Mark Bowen's side still have a nine-point cushion above the relegation zone with 14 games remaining.
Bartley atoned for his earlier mistake when he headed the Baggies in front early in the second half from a Filip Krovinovic cross. That goal ensured a third straight win for Slaven Bilic's side, who now have a six-point advantage over both Leeds United and Fulham in second and third respectively. In addition, Albion have moved nine points ahead of seventh. Relive Wednesday's Championship actionReading battled bravely for a side without a win in seven league games and thought they had equalised towards the close when Yakou Meite headed home.
Is it a case that the players think that because they had two good performances against Celtic, that's enough? It isn't. I think the title race is over, I don't think Rangers will be able to claw that back. For large parts Steven Gerrard hasn't had a lot of criticism, because he's done a lot of good. But I think we have to question that a bit because something has went wrong. Former Rangers striker Billy DoddsI thought Rangers were going to put in a more genuine title challenge, I thought their squad was better than last year.

This has been a very tight clash in recent years with three of the last five meetings ending in draws. It has also seen quite a few goals with 19 being scored in these five matches and both sides getting on the scoresheet each time. We're expecting this one to follow this trend of being tight as Bordeaux are fantastic at home but will be tested by Lyon's new lease of life up top. Lyon have just two clean sheets in their last 14 matches so we're backing this Bordeaux side with five wins in their last six home games to net.
Three of their four losses at the tail end of last year came away from home which was very contributive to these defeats but at the Matmut Atlantique they have been impressive with five wins in their last six in front of their own fans. They managed to put six past Nîmes a few weeks back but they've still been extremely efficient at scoring despite this outlier with two goals scored in four of these six matches. Four clean sheets have also come in this time highlighting the confidence and ability that Bordeaux showcasing at both ends of the pitch currently.

The kid is about 5ft 7in and I've got three defenders going to try and clear the box and we don't clear the box. Rangers face Livingston at Ibrox on Saturday with their title fate now out of their own hands. And after questioning his side's ability to handle pressure, Gerrard also admitted he also had to take responsibility for the downturn in form in 2020. I put this group together. I coach them, they are my tactics and decisions.
No complaints about the performance. The only disappointment is I thought the goals were avoidable from our point of view. We took the game to them after falling behind and they were the ones crying for the full-time whistle towards the end. I felt we deserved something out of the game. They're a very, very good side in this league with the way they move the ball. But we changed a few things around in the second half and I felt we gave them a great test with that performance.

Lyon ended 2019 with a rather bitter taste in the mouth with poor results coming against Reims (1-1), Lille (0-1) and Rennes (0-1) adding to the preexisting pressure on manager Rudi Garcia. However, they made sure to begin this year in the best possible way with two wins and ten goals scored in the process. Neither of the victories were against overly difficult opponents though with them putting seven past third-tier Bourg-en-Bresse and beating current 15th placed Ligue 1 side Brest (3-1) so there is still much to be proved at Lyon.

It's just about trying to get that consistency in our play. West Bromwich Albion head coach Slaven Bilic:"It was a good performance from us. This is a difficult league and you have to be strong technically and tactically and you have to manage your way through games. We went behind in an unfortunate way, but we didn't panic and we kept calm and composed and equalised soon after. We never lost belief in our quality.
Their nearest challengers have either stuttered or taken points off each other, while Bilic's side have won three on the spin to put a previous seven-game winless streak behind them. The Baggies will want to keep this momentum going as long as possible when they look at the compact situation behind them, as just three points separate second and seventh place. What the managers saidReading manager Mark Bowen:"The team gave me everything I thought they could give.
West Bromwich Albion extended their lead at the top of the Championship to six points as centre-back Kyle Bartley went from zero to hero in a comeback win at Reading. Bartley clumsily gave away an early penalty for handball in the air when he appeared under little pressure to head a corner away. Reading striker George Puscas converted from the spot but Matheus Pereira drew the visitors level midway through the first half.
Though out of ten matches played between the two only two have seen over 2.5, I am going with a over 2.75 goals, why because the last two matches for Atletico Madrid witnessed the same. Coming to the host their last ten matches only three were not over 2.5 and they didn't score in only one.
