Nantes will be hoping to carry momentum from their 2-1 victory against Nice last time out as they prepare to face a jubilant Lyon team fresh from their qualification for the Coupe de France final. The match between Les Canaris and Les Gones is set to be played behind closed doors.
L’Équipe report that Antoine Koumbaré is set to make no changes to his team who beat Nice last time out in Ligue 1. Despite there being no changes, perhaps the biggest piece of team news is that Tino Kadewere will be unable to participate in the match. The Zimbabwean international is on loan at Nantes from OL and due to an agreement between the clubs will be unable to face his parent club.
With no changes to be made, a very similar team should take to the field against OL. Lafont should keep his place between the sticks. Pedro Chirivella and Moussa Sissoko should start in midfield, and Mostafa Mohamed should continue to lead the line for Les Canaris.
Nantes likely XI vs Lyon:
Alban Lafont – Kelvin Amian, Jean-Charles Castelletto, Eray Cömert, Nicolas Cozza – Pedro Chirivella, Douglas Augusto, Moussa Sissoko – Florent Mollet, Matthis Albine, Mostafa Mohamed.
