Sunday evening will see the big return of the derby at Groupama Stadium. A meeting extremely awaited by the people of Stéphanois and the Lyonnais. But before that, the Lyonnais have a trip this Thursday to Hoffenheim. A busy week that could have an impact on the state of fatigue of OL players.
If the Greens have the whole week to prepare for the meeting against neighbor Lyon, this is not the case for the Rhone club. Indeed, involved in the European Cup, Pierre Sage's players have a complicated trip to Hoffenheim, currently sixteenth in the Bundesliga.
Perhaps the opportunity for the Lyonnais coach to carry out a squad review in preparation for the derby. Defeated by Besiktas at home during their last meeting in the Europa League, Les Gones will be keen to react against the German club in a high-stakes week. The physical factor of the Lyon players will therefore have to be taken into account, especially since they will only return home on Friday morning, due to a lack of plane availability on Thursday evening.
With two wins and one defeat in three matches, the Lyonnais currently occupy tenth place in the Europa League standings. Hoffenheim, for their part, presents a more mixed record with a victory, a draw and a defeat in three matches. Before hosting OL, the Germans occupied 18th place in the Europa League.
