LYON NEWS

Lyon returned into the top three of French football last season, but they are struggling to find their form in the beginning of the current season. Lyon is five points behind the second placed Lille at the moment, which is not a large gap, but the performance level of the team is worrying. PSG crushed them in the last match, and the international break came in the right moment for Lyon. We will see if they managed to pull the strings together in the past week. The match against Nimes is a must win for them in order to stay in the race for the top three positions.
