Alexandre Lacazette, recent goal-scorer against Lorient
Lyon host Evian in Gerland on Saturday on day 18 of the Ligue 1.
After their Champions League exploit against Dinamo Zagreb, the Lyonnais perfectly negotiated a dangerous away game in Brittany when they outclassed Lorient 1-0, making Christian Gourcuff’s men suffer their first defeat of the Ligue 1 season on their home ground.
They have just strung together four consecutive victories across all their competitions and find themselves at the foot of the podium, four points short of the leader duo.
The Gones’ offensive team could be deprived of Michel Bastos and Lisandro Lopez, but Rémi Garde will have Bafé Gomis and Alexandre Lacazette as his disposal, OL’s strikers in their last two outings.
Evian TG might be currently performing well at home, but the team show a completely different face in their away game.
Bernard Casoni’s men have not yet won a single away game in the Ligue 1.
The advantage therefore goes to the locals who could quite easily see themselves on the podium for the winter break.
