For this third meeting of the season in the Premier League, OL “host” Montpellier in Bourg-en-Bresse. In Marcel Verchère, Wendie Renard finds a starting place and her armband in the Lyon 4-3-3.
That’s the question everyone was asking: with most of the executives returning, Joe Montemurro was going to abandon his 3-4-3 to return to something more classic and the traditional 4-3-3 Lyonnais? The answer is yes. This Saturday evening, the Australian coach revised his copy and switched back to a four-man defense. This therefore means that Ellie Carpenter and Sofie Svava will return to their usual position, that of fullback. The central axis of OL will consist of the starting duo with Wendie Renard, who signs her first start, and Vanessa Gilles.
Rather comfortable offensively since the start of the season with twelve goals scored in two matches, the Fenottes will still be very inclined towards attack. In his role as sentinel, Damaris The log will have the mission to compensate for possible imbalances, because with Lindsey Horan and Sarah Däbritzthe temptation to go towards the Montpellier goal will be great. For the moment, OL have done rather well. It’s up to the Chawinga – Dumornay – Becho trio to be realistic up front.
