Ligue 1 2025-2026: Lyon-Toulouse, the probable formations

Lyon receives Toulouse in the match valid for the seventh day of Ligue 1. Kickoff at 3 p.m. at ‘Groupama Stadium’. The hosts, protagonists of an almost perfect start to the season with five wins and only one defeat, lead the standings tied with PSG on 15 points. The guests, on the other hand, are going through a difficult time: they have not won the three points for four consecutive rounds.

Fonseca chooses Merah in attack, with Tolisso behind him: Karabec and Fofana complete the three-quarter. Midfield dike composed of Tessmann and Morton, defense headed by the Mata-Niakhaté pair.

Martinez deploys the offensive trident composed of Donnum, Magri and Gboho. Sidibé and Kamanzi will man the midfield flanks, while Cresswell will lead the backline.
