Le Havre Team News: Key doubts

Le Havre have a few key doubts as they move to Lyon this weekend as former AC Milan and Fulham defender Fode Ballo-Toure is potentially unavailable alongside both Arouna Sangante and Yann Kitala, whilst both Daren Mosengo and Andy Logbo are both sidelined.

Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Gorgelin; Nego, Kinkoue, Lloris, Zouaoui; Toure, Diawara; Casimir, Kechta, Soumare; Ahmed Hassan

Unavailable: Mosengo (Injured), Logbo (Injured)

Questionable: Ballo-Toure (Injured), Sangante (Injured), Kitala (Injured)

Lyon vs Le Havre Prediction

Olympique Lyonnais come into this one on the back of a 4-0 hammering of FCSB in the second-leg of their UEFA Europa League Round of 16 tie in midweek, completing a 7-1 aggregate victory. Last weekend, Lyon defeated Nice by two goals to nil away from home with an extremely impressive win, albeit they are without Paulo Fonseca, who has been handed a nine-month ban for dissent to the referee in their recent 2-1 defeat of Stade Brest a couple of weeks ago. The hosts have suffered just one defeat in their last seven matches across all competitions. They now face a Le Havre side that begin this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting inside the bottom three and the relegation playoff places, most recently sharing a 1-1 draw with fellow strugglers Saint-Etienne at Stade Oceane last weekend. Lyon are firm favourites for this one and should win quite comfortably, especially at home.
