Lyon Preview – Can Lyon make statement?
Strong transfer market activity in the summer has raised expectations of Lyon qualifying for the Champions League in this season’s Ligue 1 campaign with the likes of Tolisso and Lacazette returning to Friday’s hosts who will be desperate to improve upon last term’s disappointing 8th place finish.
Despite an overall disappointing campaign though, Lyon did win four of their last five matches in Ligue 1 with victories over Montpellier, Marseille, Nantes and Clermont along with having won their last two meetings on the trot against Ajaccio, 5-1 and 3-1 respectively.
Ajaccio Preview – Can Ajaccio make a good start?
It’s been eight seasons since Ajaccio last found themselves in the French top flight and this season will be all about survival for the visitors who gained promotion from Ligue 2 at the end of last term.
A 10-match unbeaten sequence helped Ajaccio over the line but pre-season results have cast a few doubts following defeats away from home at Caen and Paris FC and the visitors face a tough opening game of the season at Groupama Stadium on Friday night.
