Three days after the Europa League victory against Rangers, OL are on deck again against FC Nantes this Sunday (3 p.m.). Pierre Sage chose to switch back to 4-2-3-1 with Matic’s injury. Cherki returns as leader while Benrahma will occupy the left wing.
The confirmation match. This is how theOL must address the coming of FC Nantes in Décines, this Sunday afternoon (3 p.m.). Three days after the victory in the Europa League and a week after the happy success at Toulousethe Lyonnais want to ride this positive dynamic to accumulate as many points as possible. After having toured extensively the previous day, Pierre Sage did not make the same mistake for this new championship meeting. The Lyon coach nevertheless changed his system compared to the Europa League, going from 4-3-3 to 4-2-3-1 with Nemanja’s injury Matic.
This change leads to a realignment of Cherki as playmaker behind the duo Veretout – Tolisso double-pivot. With Cherki placing himself behind Alexandre Lacazette, a place had to be taken on the side. Malick Breathe logically continues after his XXL match in Glasgow but the question was to know who Nuamah or Benrahma was going to have the favors of Pierre Sage. The choice fell on the Algerian international.
The composition of OL against Nantes: Perri – Maitland-Niles, Caleta-Car, Niakhaté, Tagliafico – Tolisso, Veretout – Benrahma, Cherki, Fofana – Lacazette
