The Olympique Lyonnais B will visit Chamalières this Saturday, for the 22nd day of the National 3 Championship, in a game of crucial importance for its ambitions. This trip represents a significant opportunity for the Gueïda Fofana team to narrow the gap between the first two places in the standings, currently occupied by La Duchère and FC Limonest Saint-Didier. The stakes are all the more crucial as the two direct competitors will face each other this weekend, potentially offering Lyons the opportunity to take second place before moving to the leader in two days.

Despite the status of seventh in the Chamalières standings, the opposing team has talented players who could compromise Lyon hopes. Particular attention will be paid to Mathias Cussac, the hen’s fifth best scorer with nine achievements, and Romain Perret, author of eight goals this season. The young rhodannian attacker, having shone in the previous match against the Hauts-Lyonnais, will be keen to confirm his performances and help his team win a third consecutive victory. Alejandro Gomes Rodriguez and Teo Barisic, key elements of the team, could also be integrated into the professional workforce, which will require tactical adjustments.

Due to the packages of Nuamah and Fofana, Paulo Fonseca will have to draw from the N3 group to strengthen his team, as he did during the meeting against Manchester United. Enzo Moleba should also be convened and integrated into the occupational group. Moreover, the return of Tanner Tessmann will result in Mathys De Carvalho’s descent with the reserve, highlighting a constant rotation within the Lyon workforce. This match is therefore crucial for the continuation of the season and the quest to promote Olympique Lyonnais B.
