Lyon – Lorient preview: latest form, news, and potential lineups
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for this duel, including our predicted Lyon vs Lorient lineups.
Lyon
Lyon’s misery continued last weekend with a 0-2 away loss vs Reims. Yet again the display was shaky at both ends of the pitch. Lyon can’t stop conceding goals and at the same time, they have scored only 3 goals in 7 rounds themselves.
With just 2 points from those 7 games and already on their second manager this season Lyon are desperate for a break.
The issues in defence seem impossible to resolve right now and the continuing absence of the key centre-back Dejan Lovren is proving hugely damaging for Lyon.
Captain Lacazette was a goal machine last season but he has scored just once this term. He missed more than half of the games though due to minor injuries and suspensions. He’s a doubt for this weekend after sitting out the last 2 matches. However, if available he should start too.
Predicted Lineup:
Lopes (GK), Kumbedi, Mata, Diomade, Tagliafico, Lepenant, Tolisso, Nuamah, Cherki, Alvero & Lacazette
Lorient
Lorient’s recent free fall continued last weekend with a 0-3 home loss vs Montpellier. Once again the defensive display was awful and Lorient conceded 14 goals in just the last 4 rounds. Naturally, this brought them only 1 point from those 4 games and after a promising start to the season, Lorient now find themselves inside the relegation zone.
This decline in the displays can be linked directly to the awful injury crisis that hit the team over the last few weeks. The squad is small in general and right now coach Le Bis can’t rely on 5 potential starters as they are all recovering from injuries. The absence of Diallo, Tosin and Kari in attack seriously limits the options up front.
Mendy is the latest player to join the treatment room and he is touch-and-go for this weekend.
Predicted Lineup:
Mvogo (GK), Talbi, Laporte, Toure, Kalulu, Abergel, Ponceau, Le Goff, Faivre, Bris & Kroupi
