Team News

Lyon
Reims
  • Lyon are likely to make a change or two from the side that battled hard to beat Montpellier.
  • Thiago Mendes and Moussa Dembélé are the strongest candidates for that, but don't rule out a surprise league start for Rayan Cherki, either.
  • After a brave win at the weekend, don't expect wholesale changes from the visitors.
  • Thomas Foket is fit again and could be an option at right-back, or wing-back if Óscar Garcia opts to play a three.
  • Azor Matusiwa's absence through suspension could force a rejiggered midfield for the visitors.

Prediction

  • Even without fans, Lyon should be well up for this match with their putative rivals for the European places facing far tougher opponents.
  • Reims have weathered their injuries well, but one has to wonder when their luck will run out, given how poor they've often looked going forward.
