Hello and welcome here the 20 Minutos! Forget the derby on October 3 in the Cauldron, the real shock of deglingo that smells of the five expulsions in Ligue 1 now opposes OL to ASM. We exaggerate slightly as relations have remained cordial for a very long time between the two clubs. But that was before the French Cup-Championship sequence, April 21 and May 2, 2021. Between a failed referee by Stéphanie Frappart, lenient in the face of a supersonic aggression from Kevin Volland on Lucas Paqueta in the Cup, and almost -General fight punctuating Lyon’s spectacular success (2-3) in the Principality in L1, we were clearly not bored last season. In view of the positions (OL are 10th, ASM 6th), the possible loser tonight could, depending on the results of the weekend, be a little off in the race for the podium… Note the major absences on the Lyon side, between Anthony Lopes (suspended after his expulsion in the derby), Moussa Dembélé (still injured in the fibula) and Islam Slimani (muscle injury with the Algerian selection). Add to this the presence on the bench (we can not imagine another scenario) of the possible MVP of Ligue 1 of the start of the season Lucas Paqueta. Sacred dingo that one anyway: he returned to Lyon on Friday evening, after an international break ended by more than an hour of the Brazil-Uruguay match played on the night of Thursday to Friday. We are sure back to back NBA style there, especially with the time difference to take into account. The brilliant playmaker in any case insisted Friday with Peter Bosz to be in the group, and it is indeed the case. Do you feel the decisive entry into the 72nd tonight? In the meantime, there could be Tino Kadewere’s first start of the season at the forefront, unless Rayan Cherki is seen in an unusual position. ASM side, we are not left out in terms of absent, between the suspended Aurélien Tchouaméni and Sofiane Diop, plus the injured Sidibé, Golovine, Diatta and Fabregas. To make this poster even more attractive, nearly 50,000 spectators are expected at Parc OL tonight, so come here with peace of mind, we will enjoy commenting on this match from the stadium.
»To vibrate with us in front of this OL-AS Monaco, meet here at 8:45 p.m., with a kick-off at 9 p.m.
