Lyon, Recent FormIt's fair to say Lyon will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Lille, a match that ended in a 3-3 draw. Their share of possession in that meeting was 45%, while racking up 6 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target, in contrast to Lille, who had 8 shots on goal with 6 on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 8 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. With goals notched up in 5 of their past 6 matches, they are certainly showing some goal-scoring consistency of late. Unable to deliver a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, it's fair to say they have their troubles at the back.
With an unbeaten league tally of 5 games from 6, their recent form should be viewed positively, especially with 3 wins thrown in.
Alexandre Lacazette will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 6 goals in the last 6 league outings for Lyon.
Nantes, Recent FormA 2-2 draw against Nice will be viewed as a positive outcome for Nantes and a valuable point into the bargain. They achieved 45% possession in that match and had 10 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Nice's tally of 16 efforts at goal, 8 of which were on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 8 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 10 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. Up front, they have been showing a certain level of consistency in breaching their opponents' defences, with goals netted in 5 of their last 6 outings. They are proving to be well organised on their travels, having kept 4 clean sheets in their last 6 games.
Their current form can't be viewed positively, having clocked up 3 losses from their last 6 games and only 2 wins to speak of.
Ludovic Blas is the man of the moment at Nantes right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 3 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
The last time these two sides met, it wasn't one to remember, finishing without a goal and both sides taking just a point for their efforts.
Playing at home, Lyon have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against Nantes.
Nantes has a poor track record in the league when they visit Lyon, losing in their last 2 games.
Moussa Dembélé has scored in each of Lyon's last 2 league games against Nantes.
Lyon manager Laurent Blanc has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Jérôme Boateng (Unknown), Malo Gusto (Hamstring), Anthony Lopes (Broken finger) and Jefferson Pereira Santos (Unknown) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Antoine Kombouaré has a number of injury concerns in his Nantes squad to contend with: Fabien Centonze (Hamstring), Marcus Coco (Muscle), Andy Delort (Calf), Quentin Merlin (Groin) and Charles Traoré (Thigh)
