To open the round of 16 of the Coupe de France, Olympique Lyonnais faces Bergerac Périgord FC (N2) this Friday evening.
Bergerac-OL, pre-match
After stringing together three straight victories in the league, Olympique Lyonnais fell back for the resumption of Ligue 1 last weekend in Le Havre (3-1). It is therefore the vengeful Gones, who will be keen to redeem themselves, preparing to challenge the little thumb of this Coupe de France version 2024, Bergerac Périgord FC, this Friday evening at the Beaublanc stadium in Limoges.
“The important thing is to have a good match, we have to meet ourselves and our level of play, declared Lyon coach Pierre Sage in a pre-match press conference. We must resolve the problems that were highlighted in Le Havre. We must impose our game, make the opponent suffer, and if we succeed in this, we will not have to fear their strength. »
The residents of National 2 – the equivalent of the 4th division – will have nothing to lose against an opponent who is clearly superior. During the two previous rounds, Bergerac took out Panazol (4-2) and Libourne (2-1). OL will therefore be his first big piece.
Bergerac-OL, the probable lineups
For this meeting, Pierre Sage, deprived of his defenders Caleta-Car and O’Brien – both suspended -, should bring out the heavy artillery. Note that the winter recruit, Adryelson, should experience his first start under the Rhone colors.
Bergerac: Laborde – Benmoussa, Abonckelet, Kamissoko, Ducros, Faty – M’Laab, Elissalt, Gyeboaho, Tressens – Escarpit
OL: Lopes – Mata, Lovren, Adryelson, Tagliafico – Tolisso, Caqueret – Maitland-Niles, Cherki, Fofana – Lacazette
