Two clubs in opposite halves of the Ligue 1 table will do battle today in a league match between Lyon and Caen. The first-division clash scheduled for 2:30 p.m. ET will be held at the Stade de Gerland in Lyon and can be live streamed here free.
What They're Saying
Lyon manager Hubert Fournier (via Ligue 1): "It would have been disappointing not to seal the win [against Evian Thonon-Gaillard]. It looked for some time that we would draw though, but it ended well. We did not let go. Like the match won in Nice, the opponent scored first and we got back in the game."
Caen manager Patrice Garande: "We deserved more from this game [against Nice]. There's no comparison to our display against Guingamp, but we lost again. We're in a really difficult period in which things are going against us. We have to be aware of things, but at least we showed the spirit required."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Lyon's Maxime Gonalons has been instrumental in the club's early season success. In 16 appearances, the 25-year-old is averaging 3.9 tackles and 2.9 interceptions.
Lyon's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Lopes; Bedimo, Umtiti, Bisevac, Jallet; Tolisso, Gonalons, Ferri; Malbranque; Fekir, Lacazette
Caen's Projected Lineup (5-4-1): Vercoutre; Imorou, Pierre, Silva, Yahia, Seube; Koita, Feret, Kante, Nangis; Duhamel
