Team News

Lyon
Montpellier
  • Clinton Mata is expected to miss up to a month through injury.
  • Look for Säel Kumbedi to start in the Angola international's place.
  • Maxence Caqueret is also an option in midfield, either playing behind Lacazette or alongside one of Tolisso or Lepenant.
  • Téji Savanier will be back in the XI having come off at the weekend the results of cramp.
  • Reserve defender Théo Saint-Luce is La Paillade's only injury concern.

Prediction

  • Neither of these sides has shown anything less than a desire to attack, and this should play out as one of the weekend's more entertaining matches.
  • Montpellier were one of the league's most dangerous sides down the back end of last season, following the reappointment of Michel der Zakarian, and look well-positioned to continue that here, even with their departures.
