Duel between two European teams at Groupama Stadium in Lyon. Engaged in the Europa League this Thursday, OL and OGC Nice had diametrically opposed evenings. In Azerbaijan, the Lyonnais crushed Qarabag (4-1) when the Glasgow Rangers extinguished the Niçois (1-4) in the south of France.
Fight for Europe
And if these two teams compete in the Europa League this season, they also intend to do at least the same next year. The Niçois (5th) have not suffered defeat in the league since September 14 and the trip to the Vélodrome (2-0), just like OL, undefeated since their defeat at the Olympico a week later, on September 22 (2-3).

For this match, Pierre Sage should trust Alexandre Lacazette, who spent 90 minutes on the bench against Qarabag, when Georges Mikautadze scored twice.
