Alexandre Lacazette has still not scored since the start of the season. A shortage which worries the attacker and even more OL. However, Toulouse is the right opponent to allow him to rectify the situation.
When Lacazette is struggling, it’s the whole of OL that limps. Despite the numerous reinforcements in attack, the Lyon captain remains the essential element of the Rhone club. Last season, his 19 goals were crucial in OL’s crazy comeback. It is therefore not surprising to note that OL are 15th before their sixth championship match, when their “ general » remained silent in front of the cages. Lacazette becomes impatient and frustrated when the amounts are not friendly to him. Thursday evening, he hit the post again against Olympiakos. But everything suggests that it will end the famine soon.
Toulouse, a big victim of Lacazette
It could start this Sunday, in Toulouse, in an important trip for OL in search of points. Ranked just ahead of the Lyonnais in the standings, TFC is an opponent within Alexandre Lacazette’s reach. This is all the more true as the Violets often succeed for the Lyon captain. Lacazette has already scored 12 goals at TFC in 15 matches played against this opponent in Ligue 1.
Only Montpellier was more successful in France with 15 goals scored against the Héraultais. Last season, Lacazette scored 4 times against Toulouse including a hat-trick in the first leg in December. An important meeting which was the turning point of the Lyon season. The first success of the Pierre Sage era, he launched OL in their move up the rankings, but also Alexandre Lacazette. Scorer only 3 times in 14 games before Toulouse, he had scored 13 times after his hat-trick against TFC. Rebelote this season?
