Caen vs Lyon : Preview / Predicted Line-Up

Lyon will travel to Caen who is placed sixth on the young Ligue 1 table in an attempt to grab three-points before international break.

Caen are flying high over the expectations with beating Toulouse and Marseille, last week they suffered their first loss to Nice.

Huber Fournier's side has not enjoyed the season start as they began the campaign with a goal-Less draw followed by 1-0 away victory against Guingamp and were defeated last week by Rennes. A worry for Fournier is the form of last season’s top goalscorer Alexandre Lacazette. The striker is currently without a goal this campaign and there are also worries about a possible back injury he picked up against Guingamp. There are reports in the French press that Lacazette will miss the game due to injury. This means summer signing Beauvue should replace him in the starting lineup.

Caen manager Patrice Garande can expect to have almost his full squad to pick from this weekend. The only expected absente is left-back Emmanuel Imorou.

In their previous six meetings, Caen have won three times and Lyon twice with the points being shared only once.
