Team News

Lyon
Lens
  • Malo Gusto was forced off in the week with a hamstring injury. Saël Kumbedi, back from suspension, should take his place.
  • Nicolas Tagliafico, also suspended in midweek, will be available again at left-back.
  • New signing Jeffinho is already injured and will join Gusto on the sidelines.
  • Defender Kevin Danso returns from a midweek suspension.
  • After rotating in the Coupe de France, Le Sang et Or should be close ot full strength here.
  • Seko Fofana and Florian Sotoca should be back in the XI after the pair were only on the bench against Lorient.

Prediction

  • Lyon have been undergoing a mini revival of late, while Lens' form has done just the opposite. A month ago the visitors would have been convincing favourites, but now Les Gones, even without Gusto, could be due for another win.
  • Lens did scrape a win on penalties in the week against Lorient, and rested some of their stars, but could have a hard time against a Lyon side that have generally been solid at home this season.
