Lyon host Nantes in Ligue 1 action on Friday

Lyon can stretch their unbeaten run at Groupama Stadium to six matches in all competitions when they host Nantes in Ligue 1 action on Friday.

A week ago, OL collected a point for a third successive domestic affair, drawing Lille 3-3, while Nantes came back from a pair of deficits to draw Nice 2-2, ending a three-match domestic losing run in the process.

Players to watch: Lyon’s winter signing Amin Sarr has led his team to victory in his last seven goalscoring appearances, with all matches featuring over 2.5 goals. Aiming to eclipse him, Nantes’ joint-top scorer Mostafa Mohamed has scored all his six league goals this season after half-time.

Hot stat: Only one of the previous 14 H2Hs held here have ended in draw (Lyon: W12, L1).
