Launched like a TGV in this final sprint, theOlympique Lyonnais hopes to style her competitors to get a qualifying place for the Champions League. More than a sporting issue, this objective is as vital financially for a club called upon to account for the DNCG this summer. After a convincing success against Rennes (3-1), the training of Paulo Fonseca hopes to confirm against a team of Lens which seems within its reach, but which it will not have to underestimate, this Sunday (kick-off at 5.15 p.m.).
Eighths, blood and gold have nothing to hope or fear. But their current dynamics challenge. Widely beaten on his lawn by AJ Auxerre a week ago, Will Still's team is only the shadow of the tough opponent that he was in the first part of the season. The Anglo-Belgian technician even went so far as to say that this end of the season also sounded like an end of the cycle for many heads within the club … A new setback could force blood and gold to look at the second part of the table.
The expected compos
Lyon : Perri-Tagliafico, Niakhaté, Mata, Maitland-Niles-Matic, Tolisso-Fofana, Almada, Cherki-Lacazette.
Lens : Ryan – Medina, Sarr, Gradit – Machado, Thomasson, El Aynaoui, Aguilar – Zaroury, Diouf – Koyalipou.
Where to see the match?
This match between Olympique Lyonnais and the Racing Club of Lens counting for the 32nd day of Ligue 1 will be broadcast on Dazn, this Sunday, from 5.15 p.m.
