The 2022-23 Ligue 1 season rolls forward this weekend as traditional high-flyers Lyon welcome Troyes in to face them at Groupama Stadium. An extra week off for the hosts due to a postponed game with Lorient means they are just one match into this new campaign.

Ligue 1 may be two games in already, but Lyon are just one match into the season after their trip to Lorient was postponed last time out.
That game will come later in the campaign, but an extra week off means they will be chomping at the bit when they welcome Troyes.
Predicted Lyon starting XI: Riou; Gusto, Mendes, Lukeba, Tagliafico; Paqueta, Lepenant, Caqueret; Tete, Lacazette, Toko Ekambi.
| Position | Troyes roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Gallon, Moulin |
| Defenders | Palmer-Brown, Conté, Salmier, Larouci, Rami, Kaboré, Bruus, N'Jo, Porozo |
| Midfielders | Dingomé, Kouamé, Tardieu, Azamoum, Ilić, Ripart, Chavalerin, Domingues, Odobert |
| Forwards | Touzghar, Ugbo, Baldé, Lumeka |
Two games and two losses is far from the way Troyes will have wanted from this campaign, and their task gets no easier with a trip to Lyon this weekend.
Bruno Irles will need to hope he can coax a little more spirit out of his side, after they almost folded too easily against Toulouse.
Predicted Troyes starting XI: Gallon; Balde, Palmer-Brown, Rami, Salmier, Larouci; Ripart, Kouame, Tardieu, Chavalerin; Ugbo.
