Talk about an inspired loan move! Everyone wins with Endrick moving from Real Madrid to Lyon...especially Endrick, who finally gets a chance to show his stuff on a big European stage after being too often lost in the shuffle at the Bernabeu. As for Lyon, already reaping the benefit after Endrick's hat trick last week vs. Metz. Meanwhile, as the loan doesn't have a permanent provision, Endrick returns to Real Madrid a more-seasoned performer. Short-term, a problem for Lille on Sunday as Endrick's presence has added a new sharp edge to the Lyon attack. Play Lyon on Money Line
Lyon have won nine matches straight dating back to the beginning of December as manager Paulo Fonseca has his men in tip top shape. Not only are they winning, but they're matches have seen goals galore. Six of the last seven have seen over 2.5 goals hit, and their last two matches have seen 13 goals combined. This is a team who doesn't need to play defense because they're capable of scoring multiple goals. I was surprised this line wasn't 3.5, and will play this for a full unit.
Lyon have really turned things around in the last couple months. They just beatdown PAOK 4-2 in Europa league, and before that took down Metz, Young Boys, Brest and back in the French Cup, they beat Lille 2-1 earlier this month. Lyon have been truly finding their form and have returned back to fourth on the table on the back of this run. Lille have lost their last three Ligue 1 matches straight and struggle on the road. This should be an easy three points for Lyon.
