🗞️ Team News: Lyon

We are thinking that Lyon could use the 4-2-3-1 system for this one, handing starts to Dominik Greif, A. Maitland-Niles, Clinton Mata, Moussa Niakhate, Abner, Orel Mangala, Tyler Morton, Endrick, Khalis Merah, Afonso Moreira and Roman Yaremchuk.

🗞️ Team News: AJ Auxerre

It’s our belief that AJA could decide to play in a 4-2-3-1 lineup using Theo De Percin, Marvin Senaya, Sinaly Diomande, Bryan Okoh, Gideon Mensah, Elisha Owusu, Kevin Danois, Romain Faivre, Danny Namaso, Fredrik Oppegaard and Lassine Sinayoko.

✨ Prediction

We feel that in this game, Lyon can score a couple of goals when they meet AJ Auxerre, who may well find it hard scoring.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a fairly comfortable 2-0 margin for Lyon at full-time.
