It’s no surprise, but OL clearly lacked momentum at the start of the match. The statistics of goals conceded during the first half hour are quite revealing.

The start of the Lyonnais match in Brest (2-1) is far from being an isolated situation. Since the start of the season, Pierre’s men Sage have a lot of difficulty getting into their games. Against Stade Brestois on Saturday, they conceded two goals very quickly (8th and 25th), never managing to come back despite Jordan reducing the gap before the break. Veretout.

45% of goals conceded in the first half hour

Obviously, starting with a handicap against this kind of opponent is detrimental. However, OL were warned. Indeed, of the 22 goals conceded after 17 days of Ligue 1, he has now suffered 10 during the first half hour. This represents a rate of 45% of achievements against the Rhodanians. This was also the case twice in Rennes (3-0) and Paris (3-1), against Strasbourg (4-3), Toulouse (1-2), Lille (1-1), as well as against Nice (4-1). Conversely, he “only” scored six times during the first thirty minutes.

In the French championship, no one has a higher percentage. This is a sign that something is wrong at Olympique Lyonnais on this subject. And unfortunately for him, this is currently not the only problem he encounters, particularly in his last four outings. But resolving this could help to experience fewer disappointments.
