OL shines with a prolific attack and aims for victory in Europe

Olympique Lyonnais demonstrates remarkable offensive efficiency in the last Ligue 1 matches, consolidating its position among the most prolific teams in the championship. Following an outdoor victory against AJ Auxerre, punctuated with three goals, the Lyon team now has a total of 27 achievements in ten games, competing with Paris Saint-Germain as the best attack in the championship over this period. This performance is all the more notable as it occurs despite a decrease in the offensive strength, suggesting a successful adaptation and a renewed confidence in the collective game.

The consistency in OL’s offensive production is confirmed by a variety of statistics, including the ability to score at least two goals in 13 consecutive matches in all competitions, a feat that had not been achieved since Paris Saint-Germain between 2019 and 2020. The arrival of Paulo Fonseca seems to have brought a new dynamism, resulting in an average of 2.7 goals per match in League 1, an impressive performance that underscores the significant improvement of the team. The victory at Auxerre, where the AJA had not achieved so many goals at home for a long time, also reflects the current offensive power of Olympique Lyonnais.

Finally, the Lyon team must now sustain this momentum, starting with a crucial match on Thursday in Manchester as part of the Europa League. To reach the semifinals, it will be imperative to surpass their opponent’s performance, after a draw (2-2). The success of this deadline will depend on the ability of the team to maintain its offensive effectiveness and demonstrate the same determination that characterized its recent series of victories.
