Team News

Lyon
  • Yoann Gourcuff is expected to be sidelined for at least six weeks after sustaining knee ligament damage in the win over Troyes.
Ajaccio
  • Jean-Baptiste Pierazzi is still suspended after being sent off in the defeat to Valenciennes.

Prediction

  • Lyon take on Ajaccio as they look to keep pace with leaders Marseille following a strong start to the campaign.
  • Remi Garde's men earned their third win of the season as they overcame a spirited Valenciennes outfit thanks to goals from Clement Grenier, Michel Bastos and Bafetimbi Gomis.
  • Meanwhile the Corsicans continued a surprisingly good opening to the season, comfortably defeating Evian 2-0 to notch their third clean sheet and second win of the new term.
  • Still Alex Dupont's men may find it difficult to hold off Les Gones, who possess young and talented attacking players such as Bafetimbi Gomis and Alexandre Lacazette.
  • In front of a passionate home crowd, Garde's side will undoubtedly be favourites and despite Ajaccio's impressive form the home side should have more than enough firepower to secure victory and keep pace near the top of Le Championnat.
