Team News

Lyon
Metz
  • Corentin Tolisso misses out here owing to an accumulation of bookings.
  • Look for Paul Akouokou to take the veteran's place, partnering one of Ainsley Maitland-Niles or Maxence Caqueret.
  • Look for fit-again Benjamin Tetteh to lead the line.
  • Joseph N'Duquidi is also back fit, and should keep his place in midfield.
  • Veteran Christophe Hérelle impressed in defence last week and will start again alongside Ismaël Traoré.

Prediction

  • Lyon's struggles have continued unabated this season, but the thinking here is that the incidents in Marseille will have galvanised the team enough to get a result against lowly Metz.
  • Les Grenats impressed with their solidity against Le Havre last weekend but keeping out the likes of Lacazette and company is another proposition altogether.
