The bottom two sides in the Ligue 1 table will do battle on Sunday, as Lyon welcome Clermont to the Groupama Stadium.
The two sides both remain winless in France's top flight, with the hosts on just three points and their visitors rooted to the foot of the division on two points from their eight matches.
The campaign began under the management of Laurent Blanc, but he would quickly depart with Les Gones having drawn one and lost three of their first four league matches, conceding 10 goals and only scoring three along the way.
After Jean-Francois Vulliez took temporary charge for a goalless draw with newly-promoted Le Havre in mid-September, Fabio Grosso stepped into the hot seat, but he has been unable to inspire an upturn in form in his three games in charge thus far, as they suffered 1-0 and 2-0 defeats away at Brest and Reims in his first two games in charge.
That meant they headed into their final game before the recent break at home to Lorient with just two points on the board, and Les Gones were again unable to come out on top in a dramatic contest, coming from behind to lead 3-1 through Ernest Nuamah and an Alexandre Lacazette brace, only for their visitors to draw back level with Darlin Yongwa forcing a share of the spoils with a 79th-minute equaliser.
