Lyon, Recent FormIn their last fixture against Monaco, Lyon managed a 1-0 away victory, so they'll be in confident mood going into this game. Their share of possession in that meeting was 41%, while racking up 5 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target, in contrast to Monaco, who had 19 shots on goal with 4 on target.
Manager Pierre Sage will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 7 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 8 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games.
In terms of results, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for Lyon recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games. They've struggled to find their feet at home this season, having won just 1 of their 8 league games at Groupama Stadium.
Alexandre Lacazette will be feeling confident about adding his name to the scoresheet once more at Groupama Stadium, having notched up 5 goals for Lyon in their last 6 league matches at home.
Nantes, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Nantes players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-0 home defeat at the hands of Brest. They came away from that fixture with a 52% share of the possession and clocked up 12 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Brest, who managed 14 attempts on goal, 8 of which were on target.
Having conceded 8 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 4 points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
With 4 defeats and just 1 victory in their last 6 league matches, they have had a poor run and will need to turn that around if they want to start climbing the table.
Moses Simon will be hoping to create problems for Lyon in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Nantes.
In the last match between these two, goals were scored on both sides, with the game ending in a 1-1 draw.
Playing away from home, Nantes have conceded a goal in 3 of their last 3 league games against Lyon.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met in the league, but Lyon hold a slight psychological advantage of being unbeaten in their last 6 meetings.
Lyon man Alexandre Lacazette will be confident about extending his scoring record against Nantes, having hit the netting 3 times in the last 5 times they have met in the league.
There is only really one injury concern for the Lyon manager Pierre Sage ahead of this clash, with Rémy Riou (Muscle) missing out, which gives Sage a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
With Ignatius Ganago (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season and Fabien Centonze (Hamstring) also unavailable in the shorter term, Nantes manager Jocelyn Gourvennec will be pleased to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
