In the long marathon of a season, there are evenings that leave their mark. The setback conceded by OL in this stunning and electric OlympicoSunday, against Marseille (2-3), is to be placed in this category of double-edged matches. It’s a slap in the face that hurts the ego. In this sense, it can be a starting point for redemption, just as it can push OL towards the abyss if Pierre Sage’s men do not react.
Les Gones’ entry into this new Europa League formula will take place in this strange context, this Thursday evening (kick-off at 9 p.m.). And the opponent who arrives at Groupama Stadium will do everything to set a trap for the Lyonnais. A well-established club in European competitions, Olympiakos will have assets to put forward against this unstructured and defensively porous team. The stage is set.
The expected compositions
Lyon : Perri – Mata, Caleta-Car, Niakhaté – Maitland-Niles, Caqueret, Matic, Tolisso, Abner – Cherki, Lacazette.
Olympiacos : Tzolakis – Rodinei, Ndoj, Carmo, Ortega – Hezze, Garcia – Martins, Chiquinho, Velde – El Kaabi.
Where to watch the match?
