Three days after the victory in the Europa League, OL continues with Ligue 1 this Sunday (5 p.m.). For this meeting, Pierre Sage chose to leave Rayan Cherki on the bench, in particular.
After having achieved the objective set when traveling to Azerbaijan, OL must now do the same in Ligue 1. After three games in five games, the Lyon team cannot afford to let any more points go. What's more, against Nicea direct competitor and only one step ahead. The objective is therefore clear for Pierre Sage and his players this Sunday (5 p.m.). Three days after the trip to Baku, the Rhone coach did not necessarily rely on continuity, but did not turn everything upside down either. The executives rested on Thursday are back in the eleven like Nemanja MaticMoussa No matter what or even Alexandre Lacazette. If we could think that the offensive trio would be composed with Cherki et Breathing besides the captain, it is nothing of the sort.
Mata rather than Maitland-Niles
Rather to his advantage at the time of his entry against Qarabag, Saïd Benrahma will start on the right side of the attack in place of Rayan Cherki. In this 4-3-3, the absence of the international Espoirs represents perhaps the only Sunday surprise. Having had quite a bit of action lately, Ainsley Maitland-Niles will also take a breather and start the match on the bench. Clinton Eyewho was more used to the axis, will return to his right-back position against Nice.
The composition of the OL: Perri – Mata, Caleta-Car, Niakhaté, Tagliafico – Veretout, Matic, Tolisso – Benrahma, Lacazette, Fofana
