Stade Rennais and Olympique Lyonnais compete this Sunday on behalf of the 4th day of Ligue 1 (8:45 p.m.). Here is the expected composition for the Gones.
With the departure of Georges Mikautadze, theOlympique Lyonnais has lost its official center-center. Paulo Fonseca must deal with other technical profiles in this position, but the Portuguese technician seems to be accommodating this situation.
“A system without 9? We have different possibilities, he explained. The team is prepared to play without an attacker. The group's dynamics allow us to play with or without. Let us not forget that the team that won the Champions League and the Liga has played all season without real striker. ”
Paulo Fonesca, coach of the OL.
Direct consequence: it is Corentin Tolisso who should endorse this costume of false number 9 opposite Stade Rennais, this Sunday evening (kick -off at 8:45 pm). An already experienced position against OM two weeks ago.

In addition, OL should rely on an eleven still in running, with a lot of new heads. Fofana is expected on the left side to boost the attack, while Merah and Karabec are also expected to kick off.
The Tessmann-Morton pair holds up in the midfield, in front of a defensive line which should be composed of Masitland-Miles, Mata, Niakhate and Abner. The other feeling comes from the new tenure of Descamps, which has scored points to abandon its lining status.
The expected composition for OL : DESCAMPS-MAITLAND-NILS, MATA, NIAKHATE, ABNER-Tessmann, Morton-Karabec, Merah, Fofana-Tolisso.
