Sochaux vs Lyon 16-08-2013 French Ligue 1

 

Stade Auguste Bonal will be hosting on 16 August 2013, an French Ligue 1 match between Sochaux and Lyon. The match referee  will be Said Ennjimi.

Lyon will enter the game with 4 players missing: three were injured and one was suspended for a red card. Not having home pitch advantage, shouldn’t be a obstacle for the French team, which won 10/13 games and scored a total of 27 goals. Coach, Garde, will use a 4-5-1 starting formation with Benzia as the only striker, and three of the midfielders are frequently joining Benzia up front.

The other French team, Sochaux, will try to wear down the visiting team and count on the fact that Lyon will be facing Real Sociedad next week in a decisive double legged round. The team tried to garantee passage to the Champions League groups, which means that the visiting team will not throw everything they’ve got at Sochaux. So, to secure a draw, the hosting team will strengthen its defense.

Possible line-ups:

-FC Sochaux: S. Pouplin - S. Corchia, M. Peybernes, C. Kanté, J. Faussurier - J. Eickmayer, Carlao, R. Boudebouz, R. Contout - E. Butin, C. Bakambu.
-Lyon: A. Lopes - M. Lopes, M. Bisevac, G. Fofana, H. Bedimo - M. Gonalons, S. Malbranque, C. Grenier - Y. Gourcuff, A. Lacazette, G. Danic.
