Lyon and Valenciennes face each other in the Coupe de France semi-final this Tuesday (8:45 p.m.). Here is the expected line-up for OL.
The carrot is nice: Olympique Lyonnais has the opportunity to punch its ticket for the Coupe de France final. In these times, that would be a small blessing. After a particularly trying season, the Rhone club began to dream of a title.
To do this, Les Gones will have to get rid of a Ligue 2 team, Valenciennes. “ The way of playing must match what the opponent offers. You will need to be able to combine in small spaces. We must be able to find solutions to this. We must be vigilant to ensure preventive marking”warned Pierre Sage.
Wise slice for Cherki
With which starting eleven? The technician will have a well-stocked group to tackle this semi-final. And his most scrutinized choice will concern Rayan Cherki.
The recent successes of the French Espoir international could allow him to join the eleven for this meeting, especially since Cherki has garnered notable playing time during this cup journey. For the rest, the executives are expected, from Lacazette to Lopez, including Matic, Caqueret or Tolisso in the midfield.
The expected composition for Lyon: Lopez – Tagliafico, O'Brien, Caleta-Car, Maitland-Niles – Matic, Caqueret, Tolisso – Cherki, Lacazette, Orban.
