The European leagues return to action after a busy international break, and the action opens on Friday with a Ligue 1 showdown between Olympique Lyonnais — who must bounce back after a stunning 5-0 pasting by table-topping Paris Saint-Germain 12 days earlier, per Sky Sports — and struggling Nîmes Olympique, in a match that will live stream from Lyon.

Nîmes started off the 2018/2019 French top-flight campaign — their first since the 1992/1993 season, according to Ligue1.com — in fine form, taking victories over Angers and Marseille in Les Crocodiles first two matches. But they have not won since August 19, losing three times and drawing four as they stand in 14th place, just four points above the relegation zone.
But even as Lyon continue their push for the Ligue 1 top four and UEFA Champions League qualification, the match against the sixth-place side may present an opportunity for the newly promoted side. Olympique Lyonnais dynamic captain Nabil Fekir will miss the match and may not return until November due to an ankle injury, according to Ligue1.com . Brazilian right-back Rafael will also miss the game with a shoulder injury.
