🗞️ Team News: Lyon

In all likelihood, Lyon should line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation in the match, beginning the first half with Lucas Perri, A. Maitland-Niles, Clinton Mata, Moussa Niakhate, Nicolas Tagliafico, Corentin Tolisso, Nemanja Matic, Ernest Nuamah, Rayan Cherki, Thiago Almada and Alexandre Lacazette.

📋 Team News: Havre AC

Havre AC boss Didier Digard has not got a full squad to pick from. Arouna Sangante (Pelvic injury) and Elysée Logbo (Shoulder injury) will not be playing here.

It’s our belief that Le club doyen seem most likely to make use of a 4-2-3-1 lineup, choosing Mathieu Gorgelin, Loic Nego, E. Youte Kinkoue, Gautier Lloris, Fode Ballo-Toure, Junior Mwanga, Abdoulaye Toure, Josue Casimir, Yassine Kechta, Issa Soumare and Ahmed Hassan Koka.

✨ Prediction

In this game, Havre AC would be disappointed if they were not to find the net against this Lyon outfit, although it might not quite prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

We think that it’s going to be a narrow 2-1 winning score for Lyon after the 90. It should be a decent one.
