In bad shape, OL have no choice this Saturday but to dominate Strasbourg if they still want to believe in European qualification.
Laurent Blanc has been in charge of Olympique Lyonnais for more than three months and he still hasn’t managed to imprint his mark on this team. week after week, “the President” notes the extent of the work that remains to be done to relaunch this team. The problem is that time is running out and all the jokers have already been burned.
Lyon no longer has the right to make mistakes
Before the 19e day of the championship, OL advanced to the 8the place in the standings and with a consequent delay of 14 points on the podium. The Rhodaniens are even closer to relegation (12 points) than to the top three. The situation is inevitably worrying. And it is under these conditions that the team receives Strasbourg this Saturday, penultimate in the standings.
Against the Alsatians, there is no question of letting extra points slip away. And it is above all essential to seek the first victory of 2023 in the championship. Both for the accounting benefits and for morale. Because in new poor performance, the crisis will smolder on the side of Groupama Stadium. And that would be a sad way to start the Textor era of the club.
The probable compositions:
Lyons: lopes; Tagliafico, Lukeba, Diomande, Kumbedi; Faivre, Tolisso, Caqueret; Toko Ekambi, Dembele; Lacazette.
Strasbourg: Salts; Dagba, Doukoure, Perrin, Nyamsi, Lienard; Diarra, Prcic, Bellegarde; Diallo, Gameiro.
