Olympique Lyonnais will host Paris FC this Saturday at 9 p.m., as part of the twentieth day of Première Ligue. This meeting is of particular importance, being seen by coach Joe Montemurro as a real general rehearsal, given the limited time available for preparation. The international truce significantly disrupted the calendar, delaying the return of several key players to Lyon and making tactical plans more complex. Despite these constraints, the coach has unwavering confidence in his team, pointing out that, regardless of the aligned players, the level of performance will meet OL standards.

The Lyon coach also highlighted the difficulty of the upcoming game, recalling that Paris FC is the only team to have managed to get a draw against OL this season. He praised the quality of the Paris team and predicted a significant challenge for his players. Joe Montemurro insisted on the careful preparation of this meeting, stating that the team is committed to playing its own football, maintaining a mentality centered on victory and attractive game, even after having secured first place in the championship.

Finally, the unfortunate absence of Wendie Renard, injured and inflated, depriving the public of the celebration of her 500th match under the colors of OL women, will weigh on the atmosphere. Nevertheless, a Lyon victory would make it possible to magnify, despite this setback, the evening at the Groupama Stadium and consolidate the team’s constant ambition to excel and maintain its culture of winning.
