Lyon host Brest at the Groupama Stadium in Ligue 1 on Wednesday (February 1), looking to build on their last win. Les Gones returned to winning ways in the league for the first time in four outings, beating Ajaccio 2-0 on the road on Sunday.
Johann Lepenant opened the scoring for the visitors in the 20th minute before Alexandre Lacazette added a second midway through the second half. The win took Laurent Blanc's side up to ninth position in the standings with 28 points from 20 games. They will now look to secure back-to-back wins for the first time since matchday six.
Brest, meanwhile, ended their four-game winless run in the league with a 4-0 drubbing of Angers on Sunday.
Jeremy Le Douaron, Steve Mounie, Franck Honorat and Pierre Lees-Melou scored to give the Pirates their biggest win of the season. However, with only 18 points in the bag, Eric Roy's side remain in 16th place, hovering dangerously above the relegation zone.
