The Lyon coach, Pierre Sage, has lined up a competitive starting eleven for the opposition against Reims.

OL travel to Reims this Saturday on behalf of the 12e lifting of the championship. For this match, Pierre Sage, the Gones coach, chose to change almost nothing compared to the last match against ASSE.

There was only one change compared to the team that started against the Greens. At left-back, Sage trusted Abner over Tagliafico. The latter having entered late into his matches with the Argentine selection.

Cherki to lead OL

In attack, the Rhone coach decided to start with Rayan Cherki. The latter is in full swing and therefore keeps his place in the eleven. He is once again associated with Fofana and Lacazette.

The midfield remains unchanged with the trio of experienced midfielders: Veretout, Matic and Tolisso. Enough to counter the young Reims.

Behind, OL can once again count on the central pair Niakhaté – Mata, while Maitland-Niles keeps his place on the right flank. In goal, Lucas Perri remains untouchable.
