Pascal Gastien, the manager of Clermont Foot, will be grateful that he has no concerns about his players’ condition going into this matchup because the entire injury-free roster is available for selection.
Mory Diaw, Florent Ogier, Alidu Seidu, Maximiliano Caufriez, Jim Allevinah, Yohann Magnin, Johan Gastien, Neto Borges, Saif-Eddine Khaoui, Elba Rashani, and Grejohn Kyei appear to be the players that Clermont Foot should start in the game using the 3-4-2-1 configuration.
The Lyon manager Laurent Blanc does not have any fitness concerns at all going into this match because his team is fully healthy and prepared.
We anticipate Lyon to start Anthony Lopes, Malo Gusto, Sinaly Diomande, Dejan Lovren, Nicolas Tagliafico, Corentin Tolisso, Thiago Mendes, Maxence Caqueret, Bradley Barcola, Alexandre Lacazette, and Mathis Rayan Cherki in a 4-3-3 formation.
Although we believe Clermont Foot are capable of breaking through the Lyon lineup’s defense, a single goal may not be enough to prevent a loss.
