Olympique Lyonnais faces FC Nantes for the 17th day of Ligue 1, this Wednesday (9 p.m.). Here is all the essential information on this match.
After two unexpected victories, can OL make it three just before the winter break? This is the challenge of this match against Nantes for Pierre Sage’s team, which has finally got its head out of the water. “The players are keen to confirm against Nantes,” explained the technician. Nantes needs to take points, I expect a match which will be, at times, very closed, but which can open up. And then we will have to be the team that scores.”
If confidence has returned to the Lyon ranks, there is no question of underestimating an opponent who has regained color after the arrival of Jocelyn Gourvennec. “Against Nantes, we will need to impose a rhythm, and be able to manage difficult moments. It’s much easier after a victory. This desire to do things well made the difference, there was real character from the staff and the players.” The stage is set.
The expected compositions
Lyon : Lopes – O’Brien, Lovren, Caleta-Car – Mata, Tolisso, Caqueret, Tagliafico – Nuamah, Lacazette, Cherki.
Nantes : Lafont – Duverne, Cömert, Castelletto, Merlin – Sissoko, Moutoussamy, Douglas Augusto – Mollet, Mohamed, Simon.
