Probable line-up, schedule and TV broadcast, find practical information before the match on the 7th day of Ligue 1 between OL and Nantes.
Pre-match
Three days after the convincing success in Glasgow against the RangersOL are already back on the Ligue 1 pitches this Sunday with the 7th day. Returning during the night from Thursday to Friday, the Lyonnais only had one collective session on Saturday to prepare for this meeting against FC Nantes. However, the victory in Scotland was good for the leaders with a successful performance, particularly on the offensive level. Malick BreatheAlexandre Lacazette and Rayan Cherki were to their advantage and showed positive things for the future. However, for the arrival of the Canaries, Pierre Sage must do without two important elements of its spine: Clinton Eye and Nemanja Matic. Touchdowns in the first half against Rangersthe two players must miss this Sunday, but will be back on their feet when they return from the international break against Le Havre.
Two packages which could push Sage to change his tactics, perhaps with a return to 4-2-3-1 rather than 4-3-3. With three victories in a row in all competitions, OL nevertheless arrives with plenty of confidence against the FC Nantesdeprived of several elements including Johann Lepenant. Antoine Kombouare launched this duel in front of the cameras by highlighting the refereeing errors of last season, but the people of Nantes are not necessarily in a positive spiral. They remain in three matches without a victory in Ligue 1, including a last draw against Saint-Étienne while they were leading 2-0.
What time is OL – Nantes played?
With the Europa League on Thursday evening, OL have taken out a subscription for Sunday matches. Only, the coming of Nantes does not necessarily have the lead of a poster of the day, so the meeting was going to be played either at 3 p.m. or at 5 p.m. It was ultimately the mid-afternoon slot that was chosen and this should allow the Lyon club to have a good Sunday crowd. A little more than 50,000 spectators are expected at Parc OL at the kick-off given by Mr Ballongier at 3 p.m.
On which channel to watch OL – Nantes?
For OL supporters who have subscribed to a subscription DAZN since the start of the season, they have not missed any of Lyon’s matches so far. Only one meeting was broadcast on beIN Sports and this Sunday, OL – Nantes will still be broadcast on DAZN.
The probable composition of OL:
Perri – Maitland-Niles, Caleta-Car, Niakhaté, Tagliafico – Tolisso, Caqueret, Veretout – Cherki, Lacazette, Fofana
