Lyon held by Valenciennes

Soccer Betting Lines

11/29/2008 - Paris, France (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - After qualifying for the second round of the Champions League on Tuesday with a 2-1 win over Fiorentina, Lyon returned to Ligue 1 with a disappointing 0-0 draw against bottom-half side Valenciennes at the Stade de Gerland on Saturday.

The match was played in a heavy rainstorm, which hampered the play of both teams, and it leaves Lyon six points clear of second-place Nice, which had its match against Grenoble postponed due to the rain.

The league will attempt to play the game on Sunday, and Nice will know that they have a chance to move to within three points of Lyon with a win.

The two best scoring opportunities in the match came shortly after halftime, with Lyon being denied twice by the woodwork.

Fred had a shot skim the post and Ederson saw his effort come back off the crossbar, but Lyon's fluid passing game was nullified for the most part by the poor conditions.

Bordeaux could have moved into second place but they too were held to a 0-0 draw at Sochaux, while Monaco secured a 1-0 win over Auxerre as Nikola Pokrivac found the net in the 24th minute.

Filip Djordjevic and David De Freitas scored goals in the final 20 minutes to help Nantes climb out of the relegation zone with a 2-0 triumph over Le Havre, Le Mans downed Caen 2-0 and an own-goal from Lille's Adil Rami helped Lorient claim a 1-1 draw.
