Olympique Lyonnais travels to Lens this Saturday for the 14th day of Ligue 1 (5 p.m.). Here is the expected line-up for the Rhone club.
It is in a heavy atmosphere that Lyon travels to Bollaert to challenge Lens this Saturday (kick-off at 5 p.m.). At first glance, the Sang et Or don’t really look like an ideal opponent to relaunch. But their rout suffered in London against Arsenal on Wednesday (0-6) perhaps opens a window of opportunity for the dying Lyonnais. It will be necessary for OL to get their heads above water.
Red lantern in Ligue 1 with only one victory a third of the way through the season, OL are on the verge of collapse. The club recorded its second coaching change this week. After Laurent Blanc, it was Fabio Grosso who was dismissed from his position. The Italian technician was replaced by Pierre Sage. Director of the training center, this technician renowned for his innovative precepts will have to put on the firefighter costume for at least two matches, against Lens, then Marseille four days later.
Cherki and Lacazette on the relaunch
In this context, we must expect very strong choices to create an electric shock. After the difficult to read management of Grosso for Alexandre Lacazette and Rayan Cherki, Pierre Sage should not have this dilemma. The two attackers are expected from the kick-off of this match. Other executives are expected to start, like Tolisso, Caqueret, Lovren and obviously Lopes in goal.
The expected line-up for OL : Lopes – Kumbedi, O’Brien, Lovren, Tagliafico – Alvero, Tolisso, Caqueret – Cherki, Lacazette, Nuamah
