🗞️ Team News: Lyon

We reckon that Lyon appear most likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 lineup with a starting lineup of Dominik Greif, A. Maitland-Niles, Clinton Mata, Moussa Niakhate, Abner, Tyler Morton, Corentin Tolisso, Endrick, Adam Karabec, Afonso Moreira and Roman Yaremchuk.

💭 Prediction

In this game, Toulouse would be disappointed if they were not to breach the defence of this Lyon outfit, but one goal might not be as many as the goals that they could concede.

Therefore, we’re predicting a very close game with a 1-2 winning margin for Lyon at the end of the 90 minutes. We are expecting it to be pretty even.
