Lyon and Monaco will be looking to enhance their respective bids for European football when they do battle at Groupama Stadium on Friday evening. Sitting four points outside the top five with three matches, Lyon will be eager to close the gap on Monaco, who occupy fourth place in the Ligue 1 table.
A fortnight ago, Lyon came from 4-1 down to clinch a remarkable 5-4 victory over Montpellier on home soil, with Alexandre Lacazette scoring four goals – including a 100th-minute penalty – to secure a memorable win for his side.
Having given everything to overcome Montpellier HSC, it was always going to be difficult for Les Gones to replicate that performance against Clermont last weekend, and the visitors ended up suffering a 2-1 defeat at the Stade Gabriel-Montpied.
Still, Laurent Blanc’s men can take confidence from their recent run, which has seen them pick up five victories in seven matches, with wins over Paris Saint-Germain, Rennes, Toulouse and Strasbourg preceding the triumph against Montpellier.

Lyon vs Monaco Team News
Lyon look set to be without key forward Bradley Barcola on Friday after the 20-year-old missed last weekend’s defeat at Clermont, while veteran defender Jerome Boateng remains sidelined due to a muscle injury.
Having chalked up four goals and five assists in his last nine appearances – including a hat-trick of assists against Montpellier – Barcola will be a big miss for the hosts, with Amin Sarr and Rayan Cherki expected to join Alexandre Lacazette in attack.
Lacazette has netted 11 goals across the past nine games, taking his tally for the season to 29 goals in 36 matches across all competitions, so the OL captain will fancy his chances of enhancing his tally on Friday.
