Well installed at the top of the table, the Strasbourg Racing Club and theOlympique Lyonnais meet for an enticing poster at the end of the 9th day of Ligue 1, this Sunday evening (kick-off at 8:45 p.m.). A duel which could keep all its promises between 2 teams which rely on young and changing squads. However, the dynamics must be distinguished.
When Strasbourg continues its good performances in Ligue 1 thanks to its scorer Panichelli, including against the great Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes (3-3), OL remains on two consecutive losses at the championship level, against Toulouse (1-2), then Nice (2-3). On the European scene, it's a bit the opposite, with a small hitch from the Alsatians in the middle of the week, where the Gones signed their third success in a row in the Europa League. “ We are perhaps more motivated in the European Cup in Ligue 1“, blurted Paulo Fonseca. This evening, given the caliber of the opponent, this excuse will no longer hold.
The expected compositions:
Lyon : Greif – Maitland-Niles, Mata, Kluivert, Abner – Sulc, Tessmann – Karabec, Tolisso, Fofana – Satriano.
Strasbourg : Penders – Doue, Sylla, Hogsberg, Doukoure – Ouattara, Barco, Chilwell – Enciso, Paez – Panichelli.
