Team Overview
Olympique Lyonnais is one of the established names in French football, a club long associated with ambition, a respected youth development tradition and a place among the Ligue 1 elite. Its defining era came in the early 2000s, when it won seven consecutive league titles between 2002 and 2008, a run that remains unmatched in the French top flight. Since then Lyon has typically been found in the upper reaches of the table and expects to compete for European places.
You can find a more detailed breakdown in our check the full breakdown.
The current Ligue 1 campaign, with Paulo Fonseca in charge, has been a solid one on the numbers. Lyon has played seven matches and won four, drawn two and lost one, for 14 points, an average of exactly two per game. The goal difference of +8 stands out: 13 goals scored (about 1.86 per match) against just five conceded (about 0.71 per match). Lyon has kept three clean sheets and failed to score only once, which suggests a side that is rarely shut out and rarely opened up.
Home form has been the foundation. Lyon is unbeaten in four home matches, with three wins and a draw. Away results have been more mixed, with one win, one draw and one defeat

Injuries & Availability
Impact Analysis
Lyon have seven players confirmed unavailable, with no one listed as doubtful, so the situation is clear-cut. The absences come from several causes. Ouedraogo and Sulc are both out with knee injuries, Tagliafico has a muscle injury, and Openda is sidelined with a leg injury. Kango is listed with an unspecified injury, Hamdani is marked inactive, and Nakamura is unavailable because of a red card. Nakamura's absence is therefore a disciplinary matter rather than a fitness one.
The available information does not assign positions to these players, so it is not possible to say which area of the pitch is hit hardest. Two knee injuries stand out as a shared concern, but no return dates are provided and none should be assumed. The data also does not identify likely replacements or say how often each player has featured, so their importance to the starting XI cannot be measured here.
What the numbers do show is that seven unavailable players put real pressure on squad depth, with four separate physical injuries and two non-injury absences all active at once. How well Lyon cope will depend on the strength of the remaining squad, which the data does not describe.
Recent Form
Form Analysis
Lyon's last five matches point to an inconsistent side, with results split sharply by venue. They won three and lost two, scoring 10 goals and conceding 8. All three wins came at home, against Rennes (4-0), Crystal Palace (3-2) and Nice (2-1). Both defeats came away, at Lens (2-1) and 1899 Hoffenheim (3-0).
The attack has been productive at home, where Lyon scored nine goals in three matches, an average of three per game. Away from home they managed only one goal across two matches, so the output has dropped noticeably on the road.
Defensively, Lyon have been vulnerable. The 4-0 win over Rennes was the only clean sheet in the sample, and they conceded in the other four matches, averaging 1.6 goals against per game. Five of the eight goals they allowed came in the two away defeats. Even in home wins over Crystal Palace and Nice they let in goals, which suggests their results have depended on out-scoring opponents rather than shutting them out.
The opposition has been varied, with three Ligue 1 sides in Rennes,
