Lyon have made a strong start in the UEFA Europa League and will be looking to make it three wins from three when Basel come calling.
The French giants faced an uncertain future in the summer when they were relegated to Ligue 2 due to financial problems.
They were reinstated in the top flight after an appeal and have coped admirably with the loss of some key players, winning seven of their 10 games this season.
But Lyon have lost their last two matches, against Toulouse and Nice, so they will be out to get back on track in Europe.
Paulo Fonseca's side have already defeated Utrecht and Salzburg in the Europa League so another victory would leave them in a strong position.
Basel's form has been pretty flaky this season and that has continued in Europe, with a loss to Freiburg followed by a win over Stuttgart.
But they've won three in a row in all competitions so the Swiss side will head to France with plenty of self belief as they look to upset the odds.
How the bookies view it: Lyon to roar again
Lyon have won four of their five home games this season and BoyleSports make them 4/7 favourites for this one. Basel are priced at 9/2 and the draw pays 10/3.
Head to head: On a Swiss roll
These sides have never faced off before and Lyon have only played twice against Swiss opposition. They won both those games 1-0 against Grasshoppers in 2013.
Players to watch: Satriano a danger
Martin Satriano should lead the line for Lyon and he'll be hoping to build on the goal he scored against Salzburg in their last Europa League game. The Uruguayan is 13/8 at BoyleSports for anytime scorer and 10/11 with Bet365 to score or assist.
Veteran Xherdan Shaqiri has been shining for Basel this season, netting seven times. The former Liverpool star is on the penalties and is a decent 7/5 at Bet365 to score or assist.
Probable line-ups
Lyon are set to be without Remy Descamps and Ernest Nuamah while Basel are missing Keigo Tsunemoto and Finn van Breemen.
Lyon: Greif, Tagliafico, Niakhate, Kluivert, Mata, Tessmann, Karabec, Tolisso, Sulc, De Carvalho, Satriano.
Basel: Hitz, Vouilloz, Daniliuc, Schmid, Adjetey, Otele, Koindredi, Shaqiri, Leroy, Agbonifo, Ajeti.
Anything else catch the eye?
Basel have scored in all but one of their 15 games this season so that's why BTTS is just 11/20 at BoyleSports. Adding on over 2.5 goals boots the odds to 20/23.
Lyon's two games in the Europa League so far have failed to hit double figures for corners and we only saw three when they beat Salzburg at home. That makes under 10 corners a decent option here at evens with Bet365.
Basel stopper Dominik Schmidt has picked up three yellows so far this season and that makes him a decent option to be carded once that market is priced up.
