Team News and Lineups
Both sides come into this one carrying momentum from pre-season, and confirmed lineups typically get released about an hour before kick-off.

Lyon’s squad depth and away-day pedigree edge them ahead on paper, but Toulouse at home in front of their own crowd is never a straightforward night for visitors. Expect a tight, cagey affair. Prediction: Toulouse 1-2 Olympique Lyonnais.
