Defeated on the first day against RC Strasbourg, Olympique Lyonnais must recover and win in front of their supporters at Groupama Stadium. A defeat could plunge the club into a mini crisis at the start of the season.

Physically diminished, Montpellier captain Teji Savanier is uncertain for the meeting. No decision has yet been made regarding his participation in the match against Les Gones. Reply in a few hours…
