Still reeling from a disappointing start to their European campaign last week in Prague, where a 2-1 loss included a missed penalty by Tolisso, Lyon finds itself in a precarious position this Tuesday. The team understands the gravity of the situation, with their Champions League aspirations hanging in the balance.
Playing on their home turf at Groupama Stadium, OL is under immense pressure to secure a victory. A win is imperative to propel them closer to the Champions League group stage, a phase they haven’t reached since their semi-final run against Bayern Munich in 2020. Should they emerge triumphant, the French club would then prepare to challenge Turkish giants Fenerbahçe, who have already established a strong advantage in their play-off against Sturm Graz.
When to watch the ol-sparta prague return leg
Paulo Fonseca’s squad might benefit from a strategic advantage: Sparta Prague recently played their third league match this Saturday, enduring a 3-1 defeat against Mlada Boleslav. This demanding schedule could potentially impact their recovery and readiness for the crucial European fixture.
Expect Paulo Fonseca to deploy his formidable attacking trio of Fofana, Openda, and Nuamah. Additionally, Moussa Niakhaté is anticipated to return to a four-man defense. The highly anticipated kick-off for this critical match at Groupama Stadium in Lyon is scheduled for 9 PM.
