After a convincing first victory against Olympiakos, Olympique Lyonnais clearly want to follow the example of the French clubs and follow up with success away from home in the Europa League.
It will be a trip to the Glasgow Rangers field, which will bring back memories for supporters of the Karim Benzema era, 2007 version. No KB9 this Thursday evening at Ibrox Park, but a great meeting and a victory to be won to position themselves well in this new Europa League format.
This meeting will therefore take place this Thursday, October 3, at 9:00 p.m. in the legendary Glasgow venue. This second Europa League match will be broadcast on Canal+, which will put its premium channel at the service of OL. For the occasion, the encrypted channel will have a consultant of choice in the person of Sidney Govou, who was of course there in Scotland during the penultimate visit of the Lyonnais, who also visited Ibrox in 2021, with a victory too. The former OL striker will accompany David Berger on commentary, and Margot Dumont will be pitchside for her third match of the week with Canal+.
Nuamah holder in Glasgow?
A nice cover therefore for this match with a sweet European flavor, and during which Pierre Sage should make several changes compared to last weekend’s meeting in Toulouse. It must be said that the Lyon coach is spoiled for choice in attack and he should take advantage of this to give a starting place to the in-form Malick Fofana, and try to revive Ernest Nuamah as well. In defense, the return of Moussa Niakhaté is also planned, in order to give a little more solidity to the Lyon rearguard.
The likely composition of the OL: Perri – Maitland-Niles, Caleta-Car, Niakhaté, Tagliafico – Matic, Tolisso, Cherki – Nuamah, Fofana, Lacazette
