Team News

Lens
Lyon
  • Following Elye Wahi's transfer to Olympique de Marseille, Lens will likely turn to one of Wesley Saïd, Angelo Fulgini, or Florian Sotoca to head up the attacking line.
  • Morocco U21 international Neil El Aynaoui is still recovering from a knee injury suffered at the Olympics.
  • Nicolas Tagliafico is still undergoing treatment, and is likely unfit to face Lens. Vinicius Abner has filled in so far for the Argentine left-back.

Prediction

  • Olympique Lyonnais finally got their season underway in style against Strasbourg with a dramatic comeback win (4-3) before the international break and face a resurgent Lens side managed by Will Still at Stade Boellaert.
  • Lens have won 3 of their last 4 Ligue 1 matches against Lyon (1 defeat), which is as many wins as in their first 25 meetings with Lyon in the top flight in the 21st century (7 draws, 15 defeats).
  • Lyon conceded 8 goals in their first 3 Ligue 1 matches of 2024/25, with only Montpellier conceding more (10). You have to go back to 1966/67 to see Lyon concede at least as many goals at this stage in the top flight (9).
