Here is the predicted starting lineup for Lyon vs Dijon tonight from the French press. This is Lyon’s first league game of the 2020/21 season following their Champions League semi-final exit at the hands of Bayern Munich- OL had their chances, but slumped to a 3-0 defeat.
Edit– actual lineups 7pm UK time- With Aouar withdrawn due to Covid, Memphis, Toko Ekambi and Dembele all start for OL.
Lyon: Lopes, Marcal, Marcelo, Denayer, Cornet, Caqueret, Bruno, Dubois, Memphis, Toko Ekambi, Dembele
Dijon: Gomis, Ngouyamsa, Lautoa, Ecuele Manga, Chafik, Ndong, Marie, Amalfitano, Chouiar, Scheidler, Dina Ebimbe
L’Equipe probable lineup Lyon vs Dijon
L’Equipe have Lyon to lineup in the same 3-5-2 that they did against Bayern, but with Dembele upfront instead of Toko-Ekambi.
Dijon’s last starting lineup (vs Angers)
This is DFCO’s last starting XI (v Angers), and L’Equipe, as you can see, think there will be quite a few changes. A couple are in defence, where Ngonda at left back is injured, and they have Chala to replace him. On the right side, Ahmad Ngouyamsa is expected to make way for Fouad Chafik. Pape Cheikh Diop started for DFCO against Angers, but as he is on loan from Lyon, he will not play this fixture as per a clause in his loan contract.
