Fonseca’s Lille wants Champions League qualification: a decisive challenge against Lyon for 3rd place

Golden opportunity for Paulo Fonseca’s Lille, who can take advantage of Brest’s new misstep to move into third position, the last one which guarantees direct access to the next Champions League (the fourth one instead goes to the play-offs). However, it won’t be easy to beat Lyon, who are going through a great moment of form and have only lost against Paris Saint-Germain in recent days. Here are the official lineups for the postponed matchday 31 of Ligue 1:

Lille (4-2-3-1): Chevalier; Tiago Santos, Diakité, Yoro, Ismaily; A. Gomes, Bentaleb; Yazici, Haraldsson, Gudmundsson; David.

Lyon (4-3-3): Lopes; Mata, O’Brien, Caleta-Car, Tagliafico; Caqueret, Matic, Tolisso; Nuamah, Lacazette, Benrahma.
