After a disappointing defeat to Strasbourg last time out in Ligue 1, Lyon will be looking to return to winning ways as they welcome Lille to the Groupama Stadium. Both teams are still in the hunt for Champions League football next term.
L’Équipe understands that Paulo Fonseca is set to make 4 changes to his side as he prepares to face his old team for the first time in charge of OL. Nicolás Tagliafico should return to the starting eleven after being replaced by Abner Vinícius last time out.
In midfield, Tanner Tessmann should keep his place but alongside him Jordan Veretout should drop to the bench with Nemanja Matić reinstated to the starting lineup. In attack, Alexandre Lacazette is set to lead the line once again, replacing Rayan Cherki in the front three. Thiago Almada is also set to be entrusted with a start, replacing Georges Mikautadze.
Lyon likely XI vs Lille:
Lucas Perri – Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Clinton Mata, Moussa Niakhaté, Nicolás Tagliafico – Nemanja Matić, Tanner Tessmann – Ernest Nuamah, Corentin Tolisso, Thiago Almada – Alexandre Lacazette.
