Lyon

Following their Europa League qualification against FC FCSB, Lyon now shifts its focus to Ligue 1, aiming to secure a European spot.
With no injury or fatigue concerns, the team will be fresh, motivated, and ready to deliver a strong performance on matchday.
Le Havre

With Le Havre enjoying a strong run of form in the league, Didier Digard is unlikely to make many changes to his starting XI.
The team also welcomes back Junior Mwanga from suspension.
However, the squad remains weakened by long-term injuries, with Élysée Logbo and Daler Kuzyaev still sidelined.
