Olympique Lyonnais
During their World Cup break, this squad does not step from playing, as they joined friendly matches during that break. During their friendly matches, they enjoyed two wins and one draw from their five friendly matches. As they returned to the Ligue 1, they are hoping to pick more wins, as they are just at the eighth spot of the standings. They only gained 21 points from their 15 matches. However, they might struggle in this match, as they are not doing well on the road, only having one win. They are hoping to finally improve their away from home record. If this team does not have some late heroics, this squad could have been in a worse position.
Jerome Boateng is not expected to return for Lyon due to his knee injury, until the early weeks of January.
Stade Brestois
This squad failed to be impressive during the World Cup break when they opt to play in the friendlies, and had two matches there. Unlike their opponents, they had a disappointing run in the Friendlies, and as they resume Ligue 1, they are hoping to turn the tables around here. Luckily for them, they are currently unbeaten in three of their last four matches, so they have a good momentum coming into this game. Those three matches include a 2-1 home victory during their finals match before the break. They are hoping to finally rise from the relegation zone when they battle with an excellent team like Lyon.
Jere Uronen is a game-time decision for this match due to his muscle injury.
