There were hopes at Lyon they may have competed for Ligue 1 this season, with Lille stripped of a manager and PSG at sea after a poor showing last term - but those were dashed a long time ago, as they look to finish the term on a high note, well shy of Europe.
A red card for Thiago Mendes last time out means he will surely be out of the equation this time round, forcing another reshuffle from Peter Bosz as he shapes his side for the run-in.
Predicted Lyon starting XI: ; Lopes; Gusto, Boateng, Lukeba, Emerson; Ndombele, Aouar; Tele, Paqueta, Toko Ekambi; Dembele.
| Position | Nantes roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Lafont, Deschamps, Petric |
| Defenders | Fabio, Girotto, Pallois, Appiah, Traore, Castelletto, Corchia, Voisine, Sylla, M'Bemba |
| Midfielders | Chirivella, De Sa, Cyprien, Blas, Limbombe, Moutoussamy, Bukari, Merlin, Doucet, Achi |
| Forwards | Coulibaly, Coco, Geubbels, Augustin, Muani, Simon, Manvelyan |
If anything, 2022 will be remembered as the year of Nantes' cup triumph - but a strong league finish would just be the icing on the cake for the visitors.
They can overhaul their hosts in the table with victory this weekend, and will be high on confidence that they can do just that.
Predicted Nantes starting XI: Lafont; Pallois, Appiah, Sylla, Merlin, Chirivella, Cyprien, Moutoussamy, Coco, Simon, Muani.
