On Wednesday night, Lyon hosts Brest at the Groupama Stadium in Ligue One as OL attempt to revive their bid for European football for next season.
OL have experienced an inconsistent campaign in the French top-flight this season. Laurent Blanc’s team currently sits in ninth place in the French top-flight table, nine points adrift of the European spots in Ligue One.

Lyon heads into this game after back-to-back wins over Chambery and Ajaccio in the Coupe de France and Ligue One, respectively. The victories mean that Lyon has recorded two straight wins for the first time since September.
The win over Ajaccio last time out was only their second victory in seven matches in Ligue One and ended a short three-game winless run for OL.
A poor home record has hindered Lyon’s Ligue One campaign of late, as they have won just one of their last six league outings at the Groupama Stadium.
While Lyon will hope to revive their European hopes, Brest is looking to stay out of the relegation zone, as they head into this clash just three points above the danger zone.
However, the visitor's recent form has been inconsistent, as they have won just two of their last seven matches in all competitions.
The visitor's recent league form could not have been any more inconsistent, as they have won two, drawn two and lost two of their previous six games.
A 4-0 home win over Angers in their last Ligue One match ended a four-game winless run for Brest in the French top-flight, though.
Brest have struggled for wins on their travels in the French top-flight, winning just one of their previous eight away games while suffering five defeats in the run.
Forebet predicts that Lyon will record their third straight victory in all competitions to leave Brest in a perilous position in the table.
