Lille wants to stay on cloud nine at the start of November against Lyon this Friday (9 p.m.) at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy, four days before hosting Juventus in the Champions League. Despite receiving the Italians on Tuesday evening (9 p.m.), Bruno Genesio should field what resembles his typical team at kick-off.
He will nevertheless have to do without Alexsandro, suspended for an accumulation of yellow cards. He can, on the other hand, count on the returns to the group of Gudmundsson and Bakker.
In Lyon, Pierre Sage could renew his central defense composed of Mata and Niakhaté, leaving the Croatian Caleta-Car on the bench, and opt for a 4-2-3-1 offensive system. The Lyon technician could also choose a more solid system in the midfield by adding Jordan Veretout, probably to the detriment of Benrahma. Note that Gift Orban is sanctioned by his club and will be absent.
