Olympique Lyonnais travel to Glasgow to face Rangers this Thursday evening (9 p.m.). Here is the expected line-up for Les Gones.

It is with a well-rounded group that theOlympique Lyonnais will try to surprise the Glasgow Rangers, in their arena, this Saturday evening, for the second day of the Europa League (kick-off at 9 p.m.).

Pierre Sage will indeed be able to count on the presence of Nicolas Tagliafico, Maxence Caqueret, Corentin Tolisso and Alexandre Lacazette. Only the American Francis Tanner James Tessmann will be missing for this exciting trip to Scotland.

Pierre Sage with his living forces

With which eleven will OL enter the Rangers arena? For several matches, Pierre Sage has abandoned his 5-man defense for a line of 4 defenders in a more classic 4-2-3-1. A system that the technician should keep for this meeting.

In the choice of men, all living forces are expected. Cherki scored points last week and could move into a free playmaking role behind Lacazette. Fofana is also expected after confirming his excellent form. In the midfield, Tolisso and Matic should bring all their high-level experience.

The expected line-up for Lyon : Perri – Maitland-Niles, Mata, Caleta-Car, Tagliafico – Tolisso, Matic – Benrahma, Cherki, Fofana – Lacazette.
