Team News

Lyon
Reims
  • After a cracking win over Monaco, expect the hosts to keep the same XI.
  • Amin Sarr is also an option on the left flank.
  • Saël Kumbedi looks to have moved ahead of Malo Gusto in the pecking order at right-back.
  • With Sinaly Dimonandé a doubt, Jérôme Boateng and Thiago Mendes are among Laurent Blanc's options in central defence.
  • Yunis Abdelhamid will miss out here for an accumulation of bookings.
  • With Cheick Keita away on international duty, look for the versatile Marshall Munetsi to drop into defence.
  • Reserve goalkeeper Nicolas Penneteau is suspended as well after being sent off last weekend.

Prediction

  • Despite their absences in defence, with an outside chance of finishing in the European places, Lyon should have enough about themselves for three points, especially playing at home.
  • Reims have done well to avoid relegation, but having achieved that, have looked rather uninspired in recent weeks.
