Lyon, placed at number 6 with a solid performance (10W, 6D, 7L), will recover from a close 3-2 defeat against PSG. Under Paulo Fonseca, the side has been testing between formations of 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1, which speaks volumes about their flexibility. Their recent form is encouraging—over 2.5 goals have been violated in four of their last five matches, and they've taken the initiative in five of their last six games. With some fantasy flair being supplied by the likes of Rayan Cherki and Corentin Tolisso, Lyon's home vigor might be the catalyst for a return to fortunes.
Stade Brest Preview
Brest, ranked 9 with an even record (10W, 3D, 10L), comes into the match on a tough stretch—no victories in their previous five games. Even with their latest loss in the Coupe de France 3-2 defeat to USL Dunkerque, their form on the road is a bright spot (3W, 1D, 1L). 4-2-3-1 is Eric Roy's formation, which seeks to stabilize the midfield and create most attacks from transitions. However, Mama Balde's possible injury might hold them back on the defensive side. Brest games are typically goal-scoring matches with over 2.5 goals in four out of five matches, so the ball ought to roll freely this weekend.
Head to Head
The history between these sides demonstrates that this is a keenly fought rivalry. In their previous 10 meetings, Lyon has won on four occasions, Brest three, and three matches were drawn. What's more, both sides have seen goals at both ends in 8 of the 10 matches, while all of their head-to-head meetings have gone over 10.5 corners, which is an indication of the attacking football and risky wing play that is characteristic of these encounters.
