The French giants were handed a provisional relegation to Ligue 2 just over a week ago, and must pay off their debts by the end of the season to avoid being demoted.

In the first game since Lyon were handed their punishment, Pierre Sage’s side continued their fine form, drawing 1-1 with a strong Reims side to extend their unbeaten domestic run to seven matches, keeping them within touching distance of the top four.

Results on the continent have also been impressive, barring a 1-0 home defeat to Besiktas on matchday three – their only loss in 11 across all competitions.

Dropping five points in their last two matches in the Europa League has seen Lyon drop out of the top eight for the time being, but a positive result here will see them rise up from ninth.

Meanwhile, Qarabag have won just one of their 10 all-time encounters with clubs from France, but that was in their most recent – against Nantes in 2022.

Qurban Qurbanov’s side had made a dismal start after three matches, with no points and just one goal, also losing 3-0 to a 10-man Tottenham Hotspur on matchday one.

However, they put things right last time out with a surprise win away to Bodo/Glimt, becoming just the fifth team to secure victory there in 32 matches against the Norwegian champions.
