All stats and facts are in Lyon’s favour.
In over three years, Lyon have not lost Ligue 1 match, which was held on a Friday (14 wins and 4 draws). Les Gones have won their previous 9 h2h meetings against Troyes in all competitions.
Moreover, in their last 3 games in Groupama stadium, Lyon have covered a -1,5 goals handicap. We believe that Peter Bosz’s men will also continue this trend in this match.
Lyon have scored at least 2 goals in their last 7 home matches against Troyes in all competitions.
Moreover, the last three meetings at Groupama stadium saw more than 2.5 goals.
Lyon’s second Ligue 1 match against Lorient was postponed due to the disastrous state of the pitch at the Stade Moustoir. LFP has decided to delay the game after a pitch inspection at the stadium deemed the surface to possess a risk to the welfare of both sides.
Meanwhile, Peter Bosz’s team kicked off their campaign about two weeks ago, as Lyon defeated Ajaccio 2:1 at home.
Les Gones will seek to win their opening two home match of the Ligue 1 season for the first time since 2018/19.
On the other hand, Troyes were caught napping early on as they slumped to their second Ligue 1 defeat of the campaign with a 0-3 loss to the newly-promoted Toulouse on Sunday.
Bruno Irles will want to put their consecutive losses behind them quickly. Troyes players will be aware of how vital dropped points can be, with four teams facing relegation in the top-flight this season rather than the traditional three.
Goalkeeper Anthony Lopes suspended for three games
Meanwhile, Troyes captain Adil Rami returns to the bench in the last match against Toulouse. He has just recovered from an injury to his left thigh.
Lyon: Pollersbeck; Tagliafico, Lukeba, Mendes, Gusto, Tolisso, Aouar, Lucas Paqueta, Tete, Toko Ekambi, Lacazette
Troyes: Gallon; Laroucci, Salmier, Rami, Palmer-Brown, Bruus, Kouame, Tardieu, Chavalerin, Ripart, Balde
