Olympique Lyonnais hosts Paris Saint-Germain on behalf of the 4th day of Ligue 1, this Sunday evening (8:45 p.m.). Here is the line-up expected for OL.
Backed by the wall, OL are forced to take points very quickly to raise the bar after a completely failed start to the season. The task promises to be difficult for the Rhone club since it is Paris Saint-Germain who present themselves at Groupama Stadium this Sunday evening, for a shock which promises to be spectacular at the end of the 4th day of Ligue 1 (kick sent at 8:45 p.m.).
Formerly of the Parisian house, Laurent Blanc is aware of the challenge that awaits him. The evening’s issue concerns the tactical approach that will be adopted for OL. Follower of offensive possession football, will White take the risk of looking Luis Enrique’s PSG in the eye with a high block – even if it means being countered by the Parisian arrows? First elements of response at the start of the match.
White still deprived of Lacazette
Other obstacles for the Olympique Lyonnais coach – and not the least: absences. Laurent Blanc will indeed have to do without his striker and captain Alexandre Lacazette, still suspended after his expulsion against Montpellier two weeks ago (1-4). After attending the infirmary, Dejan Lovren and Anthony Lopes are on their way back, but a choice will be made at the last moment for these two executives. The Croatian would be a little physically tight, when the situation of the Portuguese international goalkeeper would lend to optimism.
The line-up expected from OL: Lopes (c) – Mata, Caleta-Car, Diomandé, Tagliafico – Maitland-Niles, Tolisso – Nuamah, Caqueret, Cherki – Kadewere.
