Lyon – Le Havre 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 Le Havre lineups.
Lyon
After an awful start to the season, 1 point from 4 games, Lyon sacked coach Blanc and right now the coach of the reserves Jean Vulliez serves as an interim manager.
Lyon conceded 10 goals in the first 4 rounds. They lost both their home games so far with the same 1-4 scorelines. The last was a defeat against the defending champions PSG.
The team’s star striker and captain Lacazette sat out the last 2 games suspended but now he will be back with a huge boost to the forward line. Lacazette scored 27 goals in 35 league appearances last season and his return should improve the conversion rate.
Lyon remain without their best centre-back though. Dejan Lovren is recovering after surgery so the insecure Caleta-Car will have to continue starting for now.
Predicted Lineup:
Lopes (GK), Mata, Diomande, Caleta-Car, Tagliafico, Tolisso, Lepenant, Jeffinho, Caqueret, Cherki & Lacazette
Le Havre
Le Havre recorded their first top-flight win in 14 years last time around when beating Lorient 3-0 at home. The Dragons offered their best display of the season in this match and the red-hot Alioui continued to impress. He now has scored 3 goals in the 4 rounds played.
Le Havre lost only once in the first 4 games and their return to the top flight is going well so far.
The gaffer must be happy with the last display and the general form so far so we don’t expect any changes to the starting lineup.
A few youngsters are nursing minor injuries but all important players are fit and available for selection.
Predicted Lineup:
Desmas (GK), Salmier, Sangante, Lloris, Operi, Toure, Kechta, Nego, Kuzyayev, Alioui & Logbo
Starting Lineups
The teams usually announce their starting lineups one hour before the start of the game.

Le Havre
Player to Watch: Alexandre Lacazette
Lyon’s captain Alexandre Lacazette is returning fresh and hungry after a two-game suspension. Lacazette scored 27 goals in 35 league games last season. He has had 21 or more goals in all of his last 4 Ligue 1 campaigns, all with Lyon. Lacazette already scored once this campaign even though due to his suspension, he has played only 160 minutes of football.
With Lacazette fresh and raring to help his beloved Lyon we can see him going on a punishing mission in the coming match and hunting for goals relentlessly.
