If OL is still targeting the podium in Ligue 1, it will have to erase the stigma from a cruel European elimination against Manchester United. To do this, Paulo Fonseca summoned his executives, while betting on the experience of Alexandre Lacazette and the freshness of Georges Mikautadze in attack.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-title-2\">An offensive duo to make a difference against Saint-Etienne<\/h2>\n<p>The Portuguese technician decided: Lacazette and Mikautadze will lead the Lyon load in a diagram in 4-2-2-2 modular. Supported by Rayan Cherki and Corentin Tolisso in the offensive corridors, the two attackers will have to take advantage of the generosity of the St\u00e9phanoise defense. Despite the notable absence of goalkeeper Lucas Perri, who remained in Brazil for family reasons, Lyon remains armed to strike quickly and strong.<\/p>\n<p>\n                        <span class=\"label\">To have<\/span><br \/>\n                        <span class=\"title\">OM: An already historic season for Marseille!<\/span><br \/>\n                        <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-chevron-right\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 384 512\" fill=\"currentColor\"><path d=\"M342.6 233.4c12.5 12.5 12.5 32.8 0 45.3l-192 192c-12.5 12.5-32.8 12.5-45.3 0s-12.5-32.8 0-45.3L274.7 256 105.4 86.6c-12.5-12.5-12.5-32.8 0-45.3s32.8-12.5 45.3 0l192 192z\"\/><\/svg>\n                        <\/p>\n<p><strong>Read also: ASSE &#8211; OL: A legendary duel revived by two icons<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fonseca will however have to deal without Nemanja Matic, injured, but will be able to rely on the found fervor of a group supported by more than 2,000 supporters who came to encourage them during the last training session.
