Team News

Lyon
Monaco
  • Alex Lacazette is set to return to Lyon's starting XI after being an integral part of France's Olympic campaign.
  • Goalkeeper Lucas Perri comes in as the number one keeper this season for Les Gones.
  • Starting goalkeeper Radoslaw Majecki has suffered an ankle injury, which likely sees him out of action for up to two months. It gives an opportunity to German goalkeeper Phillip Köhn to retake the spot he lost midway through last season.
  • Adi Hütter has recently switched to a 4-4-2, hoping to pair strikers Folarin Balogun and Breel Embolo. He did, however switch this against Saint-Étienne with the introduction of Maghnes Akliouche off the bench.

Prediction

  • A big clash awaits at the Groupama Stadium as two Champions League hopefuls Lyon and Monaco go head to head in Ligue 1's second week of action.
  • This will be the 116th meeting between Lyon and Monaco in Ligue 1, the most competitive fixture between teams currently competing in the top flight. Lyon have 44 wins to Monaco's 47.
  • Les Gones were one of the stronger sides at home last season, and have won their last six home games against Monaco in Ligue 1, their longest such run against a club in the top flight this season.
  • Expect a tight match that will slightly favour the hosts.
