Lyon predicted XI vs Metz: Pavel Šulc to make first start | OneFootball

Lyon will be hoping to continue their winning start to the season as they welcome Metz to the Groupama Stadium on Saturday night. Les Gones kick-started their season with three points on the road against Lens.

L’Équipe reports that Paulo Fonseca is set to make one change to his team that defeated Les Sang et Or 1-0 during the opening match of the season. Rémy Descamps should keep his spot in goal despite the arrival of Dominik Greif. A switch-up in defence should see Ainsley Maitland-Niles operate deeper in a more familiar right-back role as Saël Kumbedi drops to the bench.

Further up the pitch, Pavel Šulc is set to be handed his first start in Ligue 1 on the right flank. Georges Mikautadze will face his former club for the first time as a Lyon player as he is set to lead the line against Metz.

Lyon likely XI vs Metz:

Rémy Descamps – Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Clinton Mata, Moussa Niakhaté, Abner – Tyler Morton, Tanner Tessmann – Pavel Šulc, Corentin Tolisso, Malick Fofana – Georges Mikautadze.
