Passed to nothing of an industrial disaster in early July, finally maintained in Ligue 1 but under financial constraints, Olympique Lyonnais certainly did not expect, two months back, to find itself here at the end of August. Leader of the championship, with two victories in two games, the Gones advance full of confidence towards their shock against Olympique de Marseille, this Sunday.
On paper, OM seems better armed than OL, with a more supplied workforce and the foundations of the past season, built by Roberto de Zerbi, on which to rely … But the Phocaeans experienced agitated days, with the sidelining of Adrien Rabiot and Jonathan Rowe, who weakened the locker room. Enough to balance this first Olympico of the season a little more.
The kick-off of Lyon-Marseille is scheduled for Sunday, August 31, at 8:45 p.m. The match will be followed live on Ligue 1 +.
