Olympique Lyonnais must take advantage of their trip against Qarabag, Thursday as part of the 5th day of the Europa League, to restart the machine. In good shape to launch their Europa League campaign (victories against Olympiakos and Glasgow Rangers), the Lyonnais then experienced more difficulties, beaten at home by Besiktas (0-1) then held in check at Hoffenheim (2-2 ).
Pierre Sage's men can rely on their good momentum in Ligue 1, having not lost in the league for more than two months and remaining on four points taken over the last two days. Currently ninth in C3, two points from the top 8, Les Gones want to send a message in the race for direct qualification for the round of 16.
For its part, Qarabag, 29th, is aiming for a place in the 24 to make the play-offs. Leaders of the local championship, Gurban Gurbanov's players are showing great momentum with four victories in their last five matches, led in particular by former Lyonnais Yassine Benzia (2011-15), who is performing this season with six goals scored.
The Qarabag-Lyon kick-off is scheduled for 6:45 p.m. this Thursday, November 28. The match will be watched on television on Canal + Foot.
