Team News

Caen
  • 18-year old Yannick Mbone will miss the game through injury as he had to have surgery on a cyst during the week.
  • Jeremy Sorbon will continue to miss out through injury.
Lyon
  • Kim Kallstrom is out with an ankle injury and could be replaced by Gueida Fofana
  • Lisandro will be missing for a few weeks after twisting his ankle against Montpellier.
  • Lyon are still without Yoann Gourcuff after the midfielder picked up an injury to his ankle in training.
  • Ederson is still missing and will be out for 3 months.

Prediction

  • With Lyon now top of the league before the midweek fixtures this is another chance for Rémi Garde to continue his great start to the season.
  • Even without Lisandro Lopez his team have shown they are genuine title contenders this season.
  • If Franck Dumas could have avoided any team right now the smart money would be on Les Gones.
  • After the last minute defeat at home to Toulouse he would have been fairly happy to get a point away at Auxerre but now taking on the free flowing Lyon could be another bump in their turbulent season so far.
  • WHOSCORED.COM Predicts: Lyon win 3-1
