Lyon enters this round quite unmotivated after a defeat, by 2-1, against Paris Saint-Germain: it should be noted that Lyon was winning, however, they did not show enough defensive consistency to keep the advantage. The home club usually acts in a 4-3-3 tactical system, favoring a more offensive style of play, attacking through the side aisles. In this drawing, the three men who will have a more offensive mission are Karl Toko Ekambi, Islam Slimani and Lucas Paquetá. Lyon knows they will have a relatively simple game, as their opponent has an uninteresting record away from home. For this game, coach Peter Bosz should not be able to count on Lenny Pintor, Tino Kadewere and Léo Dubois as they are in the medical department.
After 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses, the away team is in the 13th position, having won 5 points. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Metz, by (0‑2). In the last 10 away matches Troyes has won 4, tied 2 and lost 4. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 5 of the last 6 matches, but their offense has scored regularly, as they have scored goals in 5 of the last 6 matches for this competition.
Troyes enters this game after a 1-1 draw at home against Montpellier: Troyes was winning, however, the permeability of their defense came to light and suffered the equalizer very close to the final whistle. The visiting team must act in a tactical system in 5-3-2, and it must adopt a more defensive posture, with the objective of trying as much as possible to suffer a goal caused by tactical errors. Therefore, a draw in this round cannot be considered a bad result. It should be noted that, in this scheme, the three men who will line up in the central area of the field should be Xavier Chavalerin, Florian Tardieu and Rominigue Kouamé. Coach Laurent Batlles is unlikely to be able to count on Hyun-jun Suk and Yasser Larouci as they are currently being handed over to team doctors.
