If he shone this summer on the European scene by reaching the semi-finals of Final 8 of the Champions League, Olympique Lyonnais is nevertheless in search of redemption from his supporters. Because in the league, the Gones had not shone, far from it, to the point of missing for the first time since the beginning of the 2000s a place in the European Cup. Revengeful, the Lyonnais hoped to achieve a big start to the season to get the best out of the podium. But the Rhone has delivered too many bad performances for that as illustrated by the too many draws conceded against affordable opponents such as Nîmes (1-1), Lorient (1-1) or OM very quickly reduced to 10 (1-1). Calm regained with the end of the transfer window, Rudi Garcia’s men have finally resumed victory by dominating Strasbourg, not without being scared after leading by 3 goals (2-3).
For its part, AS Monaco remains for two seasons unworthy of its claims. Indeed, after having had to fight for its maintenance 2 years ago, ASM had to be content with a place in the soft underbelly of the standings last year. After 7 contested days in this new championship, the players of the Rock are currently showing too much irregularity to claim to climb on the podium despite 3 successes obtained during the first 5 days. Since their last difficult victory against Strasbourg (3-2), the Principality’s men were surprised in Brest (1-0) before conceding the draw against a Montpellier team reduced to 10 in the 19th minute of play (1 -1).
The workforce for Lyon vs Monaco
On the Lyon side, the young and promising left side Bard is not available. On the other hand, the Brazilian midfielder Bruno Guimaraes is back from suspension and the very good and young midfielder Caqueret is hoped for after being too fair last week. Last week, the Gones were able to count on a great Depay. If he did not score unlike Toko-Ekambi, who scored twice, the Dutch player was very influential in his team’s play. The side loaned by Juve De Sciglio came into play in the right lane in the second period, replacing Léo Dubois.
In the recovery phase for a few weeks now, the holders Ballo-Touré and Golovin remain uncertain for this trip. Suspended in the last matches, the young Disasi will finally be back. Against Montpellier, the former Toulousain Ben Yedder scored his 4th goal of the season. He should probably be associated with German rookie Volland and twirling Gelson Martins.
