Jorge Maciel makes his Ligue 1 debut as head coach and, according to L'Équipe, he would field an unusual line-up in Brest. Corentin Tolisso would play as a false 9 at the top of the attack, while Khalis Merah would take the midfield role.

The match is on Sunday at 17:15 and will be Maciel's first Ligue 1 test as Lyon's head coach. The paper anticipates this as the likely starting XI, so the official team sheet will confirm the final choice.
