Lyon has high ambitions in Ligue 1, they played great in the Champions League last season, and this time they want to challenge the title in the domestic competition. The hosts beat Dijon 4:1 in the first round and showed strength, and they also played attractive football. However, in the following two games, the home side managed to pick up just a point. They finished seventh last season and were one of the biggest underachievers in the competition. They have many young players who play great, and they play attractive football with a lot of goals.

The team is in crisis after two losses. At the beginning of the championship, Nimes occupies the 13th place in the table, with 3 points won until this 4th round. Romain Philippoteauk is the best player, he plays on the left flank, and the opponents have a lot of problems to stop him. He is experienced and means a lot to the team. Andres Cubas is in great shape, has a precise shot, plays equally in both directions, and is an exciting player.
