FC Metz welcomes Olympique Lyonnais this Friday for the 23rd day of Ligue 1 (9 p.m.). Here is the expected line-up for the Lorraine club.

Completely at a standstill since the start of the calendar year, FC Metz must quickly get back on track so as not to jeopardize its chances of remaining. Problem is, it’s an Olympique Lyonnais team with a full boost of confidence that arrives at Saint-Symphorien this Friday evening (kick-off at 9 p.m.).

We are in this periodexplained Laszlö Bölöni. My work, moreover, is not only in the field. We discuss what is happening from one week to the next, to try to improve. In difficult times, you shouldn’t complicate things anyway. You have to go for the simplest things possible. »

Bölöni’s plan to resist OL

With which starting eleven? The FC Metz coach will have a well-stocked squad. Only Kevin N’Doram and Ablie Jallow will be missing for this match. To try to counter OL’s offensive strike force, the Grenats could rely on an animation comparable to that which allowed them to bring home a point from the Vélodrome two weeks ago.

A 5-3-2 system is expected, with the Mikautadze-Lamkel Zé tandem at the forefront. The other usual executives are expected at kick-off, from Oukidja in goal to Camara and Jean Jacques in midfield, including Sané and Hérelle in central defense.

The expected line-up for Metz : Oukidja – Van den Kerkhof, Sané, Traoré, Hérelle, Udol – Nduquidi, Camara, Jean Jacques – Mikautadze, Lamkel Zé.
