Team News

Lyon
Nantes
  • Nemanja Matic had to come off against Rangers, with manager Pierre Sage indicating post-match he would have to undergo exams for what looks like a 'serious injury'.
  • Clinton Mata was also injured during the win over the Rangers, but could be in contention still to face FC Nantes.
  • Rayan Cherki has proved decisive since his return to the side against Toulouse and Rangers, scoring his first goal of the season against the Scottish side last night.
  • Alexandre Lacazette finally got off the mark with two superb goals against Rangers, as the Lyon captain looks to retake his habitual starting spot at No.9 in Ligue 1
  • Tino Kadewere and Jean-Kevin Duverne remain injured and will miss the game.
  • Johann Lepenant is unavailable due to a loan clause preventing him from playing against his parent club, Lyon.
  • Marcus Coco is suspended for two matches after receiving a red card against Saint-Etienne.
  • Jean-Charles Castelletto has been dropped from the squad for disciplinary reasons following an altercation with coach Antoine Kombouaré.
  • Herba Guirassy, previously injured, is close to returning to the squad after a month on the sidelines.

Prediction

  • Lyon travel to the Stade de Beaujoire hoping to make it four wins on the bounce in all competitions against a Nantes side that let slip a two-goal lead against Saint-Étienne last weekend.
  • Pierre Sage's men are full of confidence following their 4-1 dismantling of Rangers in the Europa League on Thursday, and look good value for a win on Sunday afternoon.
