Hello and welcome here the 20 Minutos! Ready to roar from the presentation of the teams with the 57,057 supporters expected this evening “Kariiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiim…. “? Oops, sorry, that was Tuesday night. Rather, we are told an influx of around 30,000 / 35,000 this Sunday (8:45 p.m.) for an OL-RC Strasbourg a priori a bit less attractive. The Lyonnais are warned: with their recovery more than mixed in view of the calendar (draws against Brest and Clermont, defeat at Angers), they quickly need a positive series to try to catch up with their direct competitors supposed in the race for the podium. There is no lack of bad news on the actual level (although, the most acerbic supporters would say), since Léo Dubois is forfeited after injuring his calf with the Blues on Tuesday, just like Tino Kadewere with Zimbabwe (quadriceps), while Damien Da Silva is suspended. Brazilian internationals Lucas Paqueta and Bruno Guimaraes may have returned from South America on Friday, but they could be lined up by Peter Bosz for this match. And of course, the enormous extra-sporting blow of the week for OL lies in the conviction of Jérôme Boateng, at the end of his trial for “domestic violence” against his ex-partner, Thursday in Munich. In the group this evening, but lacking rhythm and necessarily disturbed by his trying week on the private level, he should not know his first tenure. We do not know you, but we are still curious to see where OL are at, where Xherdan Shaqiri could play his first minutes of play. Opposite, this new Racing now led by Julien Stéphan is disappointing for the moment, with, like OL, only one success during the first four days. Note the absences of Fila (suspended), Sissoko, Sahi and Mothiba (injured). And we can not wait to follow the possible rise of Kevin Gameiro in this team.
“To vibrate with us in front of this OL-RC Strasbourg, meet here at 8:30 p.m., with a kick-off at 8:45 p.m. …
