Lyon missed the top European competition positions last season in France, and as much it hurt at that time it is a blessing for this season as they are fresh and hungry at the moment without the hassle of CL-qualifiers.

The preseason looks like fun:

The visitors have less class and had less fun this summer:

So Lyon ended in 4th place, but the xG-data suggests they were narrowly the best team in Ligue1, along with PSG and Monaco and 9 points ahead of actual winners Lille! Narrow margins as usual in football, it still is the goals that count and we can expect a plenty of them this season as the friendly results show.

There are a few regular starters missing from Lyon side due Olympics and covid, but the squad is strong - in fact 326 million eur strong - even if they sold Memphis Depay to Barcelona. They are winners in the market, moneywise, as most of their newcomers are from their own ranks or smaller teams.

Brest survived only narrowly last season, a few points more they would had been almost midtable, a few points less would had seen them relegated. xG-data agrees with that. Brest were however clearly the 2nd worst traveller in the league, 3-4-12 and 18-33 goal difference makes it hard to stay in the league also this time.

Brest are also weaker this season than last time and there is a lot of work for the new coach Zakarian to try to replace 12 million Romain Perraud who left to Southampton. His effort has been so far to sign Finnish international Jere Uronen there as a left wingback. Uronen been playing in Belgium most of his professional life, in a weaker league than this and he is priced as 1 million man.

In December when they met in Lyon the match ended in 2-2, but a lot more fair result would had been 3,4-1, and this is what I expect tonight!

里昂上赛季在法国错过了欧洲顶级联赛的席位，尽管当时很受伤，但这对本赛季来说是一件好事，因为他们现在没有了英超预选赛的麻烦，充满了新鲜感和渴望。

季前赛看起来很有趣:

今年夏天，游客们的课更少了，乐趣也少了:

所以里昂以第四名的成绩结束了比赛，但xg数据表明，他们与巴黎圣日耳曼和摩纳哥并列，是法甲最好的球队，比真正的冠军里尔多9分!在足球比赛中，像往常一样，差距很小，进球仍然很重要，我们可以期待这个赛季的友谊赛结果。

由于奥运会和新冠肺炎，里昂有一些常规首发球员缺阵，但这支球队很强大——事实上是3.26亿欧元——即使他们把孟菲斯德佩卖给了巴塞罗那。在金钱方面，他们是市场上的赢家，因为他们的大多数新成员都来自他们自己的队伍或更小的团队。

布雷斯特上赛季只勉强存活了下来，多一点他们就会接近中游，少一点他们就会被降级。xG-data同意这一点。布雷斯特显然是联赛第二差的流浪者，3-4-12阵型和18-33的净胜球差让他这次也很难留在联赛。

布雷斯特本赛季的实力也比上个赛季弱，新教练扎卡里安还有很多工作要做，试图取代1200万转会南安普顿的罗曼·佩罗。到目前为止，他一直在努力签下芬兰国脚耶雷·乌罗宁作为左后卫。乌罗宁大部分职业生涯都在比利时踢球，在一个比这更弱的联赛，他的身价是100万。

去年12月，当他们在里昂相遇时，比赛以2-2结束，但更公平的结果应该是3,4-1，这就是我今晚所期待的!
