Although having experienced very distinct destinies in the Europa League this season, theOlympique Lyonnais and OGC Nice should engage in an interesting balance of power this Sunday. Because if OL crushed Qarabag (4-1) before the Gym fell by the same score against Glasgow Rangers on Thursday evening, it is Franck Haise’s team which is the best ranked in Ligue 1. Pierre Sage did not fail to remind us of this.
“ The important thing is what we are going to achieve in the match, how we are going to start it. They are ahead of us in the rankings. They will come on Sunday with the idea of being competitive. We too will have the same ambition. May the best win“. This match will also pit two of the most popular coaches of the new wave against each other. “ With Franck Haise, we faced each other twice in Ligue 1 and it ended in two victories for him, said Pierre Sage. He’s someone I respect a lot. His team has an idea and an identity for the game. His team always has the desire to move forward and press high. I know he has some health issues. I have a big thought for him and I hope he will be in good shape this Sunday“.
The expected compositions
OL : Perri – Maitland-Niles, Caleta-Car, Niakhaté, Tagliafico – Veretout, Matic, Tolisso – Cherki, Lacazette, Fofana.
Nice : Bulka – Louchet, Bombito, Dante, Bard – Boudaoui, Rosario – Cho, Diop, Boga – Guessand.
