Team News

Lyon
Lorient
  • Alexandre Lacazette returns from suspension and should start.
  • Fabio Grosso lined his team up in a 3-4-3 last weekend, but with Lacazette back, expect a more conventional 4-2-3-1.
  • Aiyegun Tosin, who had been starting on the left, remains a doubt after missing the loss to Montpellier.
  • Siriné Doucouré could also be an option at centre forward.

Prediction

  • Given Lyon's limp start to the season, picking a home win seems foolhardy, but Lorient have been at sea defensively and will also have to cope with the absence of several key attackers.
  • Lorient should make this match interesting, but don't expect Les Merlus to head back to Brittany with any points.
