Lyon face off with visiting opponents Angers SCO at Groupama Stadium in the Ligue 1 meeting on Saturday. Time to bring you the latest player updates and predicted line ups.

Lyon will be hoping for a better result after a 2-0 Ligue 1 defeat last time out to Monaco. We think that Lyon should make use of the 4-2-3-1 system in the match featuring Lucas Perri, A. Maitland-Niles, Moussa Niakhate, Clinton Mata, Nicolas Tagliafico, Nemanja Matic, Tanner Tessmann, Rayan Cherki, Thiago Almada, Malick Fofana and Alexandre Lacazette.

Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just a single fitness concern for the Lyon boss Jorge Maciel to be concerned with from a near full-strength group. Ernest Nuamah won’t play.

How Lyon might line up to take on Angers SCO

Angers SCO will go into this match following a 2-1 Ligue 1 win to beat Strasbourg in their previous outing. From our viewpoint, Les Scoïstes seem likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 lineup, 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.

Angers manager Alexandre Dujeux has to currently contend with reduced team options. Haris Belkebla (Foot injury), Pierrick Capelle (Dead leg) and Sidiki Chérif (Dead leg) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.
