Preview: Lyon Aims for Victory Against Marseille
This Sunday evening, Ligue 1’s prime time matchup features Lyon seeking their second victory of the season as they prepare to face a formidable Olympique de Marseille squad. In their previous outing, Les Gones encountered disappointment with a scoreless draw against Lens.
Changes in‌ Lyon’s Lineup
According to L’Équipe, coach Pierre Sage is expected to implement two significant alterations from the team that managed just a draw against Les Sang et Or. The defense will remain intact, as the manager continues with his preferred three-defender setup utilized in‍ past matches. However, there is likely to be one modification in midfield where Jordan Veretout will make his full debut, stepping in for Maxence Caqueret.
Offensive Adjustments Ahead of the Clash
In terms of offensive plays, Gift Orban looks set to take a seat on the bench while Georgian international Georges Mikautadze reclaims his position in the starting XI. Club captain Alexandre Lacazette will maintain his critical role alongside Mikautadze as Sage opts for two forwards upfront.
Lyon’s Expected Starting Lineup vs Marseille:
- Lucas Perri
- Clinton Mata
- Duje Ćaleta-Car
- Moussa Niakhaté;
- Ainsley Maitland-Niles
- Corentin Tolisso
- Nemanja Matić
- Jordan Veretout
- Abner
- Georges Mikautadze
