Olympique Lyon vs Dijon

As soon as a season turned upside down in terms of the calendar, Lyon starts again a few days after the elimination in the Champions League semifinal against Bayern Munich, without forgetting the French Cup final lost against PSG, another finalist of the highest international competition for the club.

Garcia has undoubtedly done an extraordinary job after a championship concluded outside the European zones, improving team play and hitting two extraordinary results, namely the eliminations of Juventus and Manchester City, results that confirmed the good level of the hosts. On a tactical level, the former Giallorossi coach should re-propose the 3-5-2 of the Champions League, with the jewel Aouar in the control room, despite the very strong market sirens coming from half of Europe. In attack Moussa Dembele, despite the excellent state of form, should start again from the bench, and then, during the race, probably replace Depay, not yet at his best.

Lyon’s opponent in this first league match is the modest Dijon, a team that already played a match last weekend, losing narrowly to Angers and finishing in goal only once.

The last precedent between the two teams, dating back to last October 2019, was a goalless draw at Lyon. The guests’ last success dates back to 6 April 2019, when Dijon achieved an extraordinary feat by storming Parc Olympique Lyonnais by winning 3-1.
