Bottom-of-the-table Lyon will look to continue their recovery from a horrific start when they welcome Lille to the Groupama Stadium in Ligue 1 on Sunday.
Fabio Grosso's side enjoyed their first victory of the season just before the international break, but it was not enough to pull them off the foot of the table.
Even though they played against an out-of-form side who had 10 men for 85 minutes, the Lyon squad will have been glad to not set a new all-time winless club record.
It was a strange weekend in Ligue 1 though, as the bottom three all won, with Clermont and Metz also earning very important victories, meaning the battle in the bottom half is now incredibly tight.
After Angers, Troyes and Ajaccio were so poor last season, the league's decision to cut Ligue 1 down to 18 teams appears to be justified, as the fight against relegation is already hotting up after just 12 games.
Lyon may be bottom, but they are just six points off rivals Marseille in 10th and only nine points adrift of a European spot, despite a woeful start.
