Team News: Lyon
There is just the sole fitness concern for the Lyon gaffer Jorge Maciel to be concerned with due to a largely intact group of players. Ernest Nuamah (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t play.
We think that Lyon may well employ a 4-2-3-1 system for this game, beginning the first half with Lucas Perri, A. Maitland-Niles, Moussa Niakhate, Clinton Mata, Nicolas Tagliafico, Nemanja Matic, Tanner Tessmann, Rayan Cherki, Thiago Almada, Malick Fofana and Alexandre Lacazette.
ℹ️
Team News: Angers SCO
Angers SCO manager Alexandre Dujeux has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Haris Belkebla (Foot injury), Pierrick Capelle (Dead leg) and Sidiki Chérif (Dead leg) can’t be considered.
There’s a good chance that Les Scoïstes could decide to utilise a 4-2-3-1 formation, choosing Yahia Fofana, Carlens Arcus, Jordan Lefort, Ousmane Camara, Florent Hanin, Marius Courcoul, Zinedine Ould Khaled, Lilian Raolisoa, Himad Abdelli, Jim Allevinah and Esteban Lepaul.
💡
Prediction
Our thinking is that Angers SCO will likely create enough chances to find the net against this Lyon lineup, however it is unlikely to prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.
Our selection here is for both teams to score in a 2-1 victory for Lyon at full-time. Expecting it to be very competitive.
