Lyon stuttered in the first half against Troyes before coming to life with three goals after the break. While the loss of Dembélé is an issue, there is still more than enough about this team to get another three points. Lorient shocked Nice in winning 1-0 in the week, and could make this an uncomfortable outing before a visit from Brondby on Thursday. 2:1
Moussa Dembélé will miss more than a month out after suffering a fractured fibula against Troyes. Léo Dubois played the second half on Wednesday and should be fit enough to start here. Jérôme Boateng could come into defence after being rested in the week. Lorient will miss Moritz Jenz after he was sent off on Wednesday against Nice. Igor Silva and Armand Laurienté only featured from the bench in the week and both should start here. Thomas Fontaine is an option at the back for the visitors in place of Jenz, but don't rule out a move to four at the back for Les Merlus.
There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 12 of Lyon's last 14 games (Ligue 1). Lorient have failed to win their last 19 away matches (Ligue 1). Lyon have scored at least 3 goals in their last 3 home matches (Ligue 1).
