Choc des Olympiques, Olympique de Marseille vs. Olympique Lyonnais kicks off at 19:45 (GMT+1) on Sunday, May 1, at the Stade Vélodrome.

Lyon picked up a resounding 5-2 win over Montpellier last weekend at the Groupama Stadium and remain in 8th place on the Ligue 1 table, having picked up 52 points from 14W, 11D, & 9L. Looking to earn back-to-back victories, WDWLW, Lyon could become the fifth team to win 1000 Ligue 1 matches [999W, 588D, & 737L], after Marseille, Bordeaux, St. Etienne, and AS Monaco. An underwhelming season leaves the Kids aiming for a top-five finish in a bid to see European football of any kind next season. However, they remain 5 points adrift of the section heading into Sunday’s game. Peter Bosz and Les Gones could re-appear with either a 4—2—3—1 or a 4—3—3, having Moussa Dembele at the center of attack. Dembele is the club’s top scorer with 16 goals while having 4 assists, leaving his total contributions for the club in the final-third at 27%. Meanwhile, Anthony Lopes, Maxence Caqueret, and Tanguy Ndombele could be making a return after recent absences.

The Ligue 1 fixture, Olympique Lyonnais vs. Montpellier Hérault SC kicks off at 16:00 (GMT+1) on Saturday, April 23, at Groupama Stadium.

Lyon failed to earn a point on Wednesday after a 2-1 defeat to Brest at Stade Francis-Le Blé. Steve Mounie (27' P) had put the home side in the lead before Dembele (72'), who has been in remarkable form in recent times, bagged the leveler. However, a late goal from Irvin Cardona (74') who hit the back of the net minutes into the second half left Lyon with their first defeat in five games, DWDWL. "The result and the first half were very disappointing," Peter Bosz said on the club’s website following the mid-week defeat to Brest. "In the second half, we played much better, but we couldn't take the lead. We are disappointed because we know we need results and we should have won," the Lyon boss added. Lyon sits in 8th place, having picked up 49 points after 13W, 11D, and 9L. European football remains the objective for Lyon next season, but the Kids are seven points adrift of the top-five ahead of Saturday’s clash. Lyon are looking to add a win to their tally of two in their last eight Ligue 1 matches against Montpellier [2W, 3D & 3L]. In addition, Les Gones have won five of their last seven Ligue 1 home games [5W & 2L]. Peter Bosz aims to add to the numbers when he lines up the 4—3—3 formation, with Moussa Dembele at the center of the attacking trio. Anthony Lopes will not be available on Saturday, having picked up a thigh injury.

The Ligue 1 fixture, Stade Brestois 29 vs. Olympique Lyonnais, kicks off at 20:00 (GMT+1) on Wednesday, April 20, at the Stade Francis-Le Blé.

Lyon made up for their UEFA Europa League exit with a smashing 6-1 win over bottom-placed Bordeaux at the Groupama Stadium over the weekend, returning to winning ways in style, LDWDW. A brace from Moussa Dembele (20' & 90'+2) and Toko Ekambi (26’ & 68'), coupled with goals from Lucas Paqueta (34'), and Romain Faivre (46'), made the six-goal haul possible. The victory lifted Lyon two spots up the Ligue 1 table, from 10th to 8th place, having picked up 49 points from 13W, 11D, and 8L. The Kids are vying for European places at the end of the season and currently sit five points outside the top five. A win here could see Lyon close in on the section if favorable results emerge elsewhere. Lyon have hit the back of the net 50 times in 32 Ligue 1 games and have a goal ratio of 1.56 goals per game. So far this season, Les Gones have conceded 41 goals [an average of 1.28 goals per match] and have a G.D. of +9. On Wednesday, Peter Bosz could line up with the Kids in a 4—3—3 formation with Moussa Dembele at the center of the attacking trio.

The Ligue 1 fixture, Olympique Lyonnais vs. FC Girondins de Bordeaux, kicks off at 16:05 (GMT+1) on Sunday, April 17, at the Groupama Stadium.

Lyon were soundly beaten and dumped out of the UEFA Europa League following Thursday’s 3-0 loss to West Ham. "I am very disappointed because I think we started well, but we didn’t score," Peter Bosz said right after his side’s exit from European soil. "We conceded a goal on a set-piece. After that, it was difficult, it must be said. We played well for thirty minutes, after that it was difficult." The aggregate 4-1 defeat to the English outfit leaves Lyon returning to Ligue 1 without a win in two games across all competitions following the 1-1 draw against Strasbourg last weekend in L1. Karl Toko Ekambi (90') salvaged a point for the Kids at Stade de la Meinau after Ibrahima Sissoko (20') hit the back of the net mid-way through the first half to put Le Racing in the lead. Lyon has two victories in five games, WLDWD, and moved one spot down the table, from 9th to 10th place, after the draw, having 46 points from 12W, 11D, and 8L. Lyon has an unbeaten seven-game run against Bordeaux in Ligue 1 [3W & 4D], - their best run against this opponent since the period between September 1999 and August 2006 (15). "We now have a Ligue 1 game to look forward to [against Bordeaux], which is very important as we want to play in Europe," Bosz said after Thursday's defeat, reasserting Lyon’s intention to finish inside European places this season. For this match against Bordeaux, the 58-year-old could line up the 4—2—3—1 formation with Moussa Dembele in attack. Meanwhile, Anthony Lopes remains sidelined with a thigh injury.

Le Racing are looking to pick up back-to-back victories when they take on the Kids this weekend on home soil, following the narrow win over Les Sang et Or. The Ligue 1 fixture, RC Strasbourg Alsace vs. Olympique Lyon, kicks off at 18:00 (GMT+1) on Sunday, April 10, at Stade de la Meinau.

Lyon picked up a 1-1 draw against the Premier League side West Ham in the first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals on Thursday at the London Stadium. Back in Ligue 1, Lyon picked up a 3-2 win over SCO Angers last weekend at the Groupama Stadium. Tete (80') bagged the winner following a brace from Moussa Dembele (26' & 52'). The victory saw Les Gones move one spot ahead, from 10th to 9th place on the Ligue 1 table, having picked up 45 points from 12W, 10D, and 8L. Looking to pick up back-to-back victories, LWLDW, Peter Bosz believes his side has made a lot of improvements. "I think that we’re playing much better than at the start of the season, but we’re far from perfect," he said ahead of the Europa League clash against the Hammers. In the event that favorable outcomes emerge elsewhere, Bosz could see Lyon take a few steps up the league table after a win here. Bosz lined up the 4—4—1—1 against West Ham with Dembele and Lucas Paquetá in attack and is expected to do again on Sunday.

The Ligue 1 fixture, Olympique Lyon vs. Angers SCO, kicks off at 16:05 (GMT+1) on Sunday, April 3, at the Groupama Stadium.

Lyon are without a win in two games and have only one victory in five Ligue 1 matches, DLWLD, following the goalless draw against Reims on Matchday 29 at the Stade Auguste Delaune. The disastrous season, which sees Lyon in 10th place with 42 points after 11W, 10D, & 8L, is expected to end with Peter Bosz shown the exit. Following reports from Foot Mercato, potential replacements in the shape of ex-Monaco coach Niko Kovač and current Strasbourg manager, Julien Stéphan, are being lined up for the summer. Earlier in January, Lyon’s president, Jean-Michel Aulas, toyed with the idea of bringing in Laurent Blanc following open praise of the 56-year-old. "I’m thinking about it. I saw him extensively in Russia, and I really felt like he had that capacity. He’s a guy with incomparable experience. You never know," he said back then while speaking to Europe 1. Lyon have lost back-to-back home games in Ligue 1 and could pick up three defeats in a row at home for the first time since August 1997. On Sunday, Peter Bosz will like to put the rumors aside and pick up three points in his attempt to salvage what is left of an underwhelming season, with Lyon finishing in 4th place last season. A 4—2—3—1 formation is expected from the 58-year-old, with Moussa Dembélé at the top of the shape. Lucas Paquetá, who hit the back of the net in Brazil’s FIFA World Cup 2022 qualifying clash against Bolivia, is expected to be playing behind the center-forward. Moussa Dembélé has 10 goals this season and remains the club's top scorer.

Reims picked up a 1-0 win over SCO Angers last weekend at the Stade Raymond Kopa and were left unbeaten in four Ligue 1 games: LDWDW, following the match which saw both sides finish with ten men. Alexis Flips (24’) squeezed the ball through the goalkeeper’s legs for the opener mid-way through the first half, leaving Reims in the lead. Ten minutes later, Reims found themselves with the numerical deficit after Anastasios Donis [R. 34’] was shown the red. With ten men, resolute defending spared Les Rouges et Blancs from conceding, despite a goal-mouth scramble which had seen the ball cleared off the goal-line after three successive attempts in the same phase of play. Following the victory, Reims are in 12th place, having picked up 35 points from 8W, 11D, & 9L. A fine record against Lyon could leave Óscar García feeling confident of picking up at least a point against the Kids on Sunday. Les Rouges et Blancs have only one defeat in seven Ligue 1 episodes against Les Gones, - one which dates back to November 2020. Óscar García lined up the 3—4—2—1 with Arbër Zeneli sitting at the top in attack for the game against SCOA, and could be doing so again on Sunday for this clash against Lyon. Following the red card against Angers, Anastasios Donis remains suspended for the weekend.

Lyon made it through into the quarter-finals of the UEFA Europa League following Thursday’s 1-1 draw against FC Porto. The results left the club with a 2-1 aggregate win over the Portuguese outfit. Back on Ligue 1 soil, Lyon failed to earn a point following the 4-2 loss to Rennes last weekend at the Groupama Stadium. With the defeat, Les Gones moved two spots down the table, from 8th to 10th place, while having 41 points from 11W, 9D, and 8L. Lyon are looking to return to winning ways, WDLWL, in a bid to regain lost ground. A victory here could see the club move two spots ahead if favorable results emerge in other intertwined fixtures. Peter Bosz could line up the 4—3—3 formation against Reims, with Moussa Dembélé playing through the middle of the attacking trio. Meanwhile, Mathis Rayan Cherki (broken foot) remains sidelined amid reports of a lack of agreement between the club and player over a contract extension with a significant upward review in compensation. OGC Nice are reported to be closely monitoring the situation.

The Ligue 1 fixture, Olympique Lyonnais vs. Stade Rennais F.C. kicks off at 17:05 (GMT+1) on Sunday, March 13, at the Groupama Stadium.

Lyon are coming off the back of a 1-0 win over FC Porto in Thursday’s first leg of their UEFA Europa League round-of-16 clash. A single goal from Lucas Paquetá (59’) left Lyon with a one-goal advantage ahead of the reverse fixture scheduled for Thursday, March 17. Back in Ligue 1, Lyon bagged all three points in their last game, following a 4-1 win over Lorient. A brace from Romain Faivre (5', 78'), coupled with goals from Moussa Dembele (26') and Toko Ekambi (59'), were enough to see Lyon through at Stade du Moustoir. Having gotten back to winning ways, after two games without a win, LWDLW, the Kids remain in 9th place with 41 points from 11W, 9D, and 7L. Level on points with seventh-placed Monaco and within touching distance of the top-five, a victory here could see the club reduce the distance to the top section of the table if favorable results emerge elsewhere. Lyon were defeated in their last home game [vs. Lille], but they have never lost two consecutive home games since December 2019. Peter Bosz could set up the 4—2—3—1 with Moussa Dembele at the top of the shape. On availability, Rayan Cherki remains ruled out for the foreseeable future, along with Sinaly Diomandé, who went under the knife for a procedure to correct an ankle injury. In other related news, Lyon will be organizing a charity match for Ukrainian children in the month of May this year. The match will be played at the Groupama Stadium to raise funds to help protect Ukrainian children following Russia’s invasion of the sovereign country.

The French Ligue 1 fixture, FC Lorient vs. Olympique Lyonnais, kicks off at 21:00 (GMT+1) on Friday, March 4, at Stade du Moustoir.

A left-footed half volley from Gabriel Gudmundsson (35’) left Lyon without a point in Sunday’s game against Lille. Both sides had a go at both ends, but the game failed to produce more than a goal, as Lyon saw a would-be leveler canceled out after a supposed foul on Lille’s Léo Jardim in goal. "It’s a scandal to have been refused the goal we scored," Peter Bosz said after the game. "I think it’s incredible not to have won this game. Even a draw would’ve been disappointing. In my opinion, we played well. We had chances, we missed some – that’s our current problem. We’re not in this 10th place for this reason or because of the refereeing, but tonight the referee made a mistake," Bosz added. Lyon sits in 10th place with 38 points from 10W, 9D, & 7L while having the Ligue 1 form: WLWDL, ahead of this fixture against Lorient. Currently trailing the top-five by five points, a victory here could see Lyon slice through the four above if favorable results emerge elsewhere. A 4—2—3—1 formation, with Moussa Dembélé in attack, is anticipated for this clash against Les tangos et noirs.

The Ligue 1 fixture, Olympique Lyon vs. LOSC Lille kicks off at 20:45 (GMT+1) on Sunday, February 27, at Groupama Stadium.

Olympique Lyon are coming off the back of a 1-1 draw against RC Lens at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis on Matchday 25. Jonathan Clauss (13’) handed RC Lens the lead inside the first fifteen minutes after firing into an empty net. Anthony Lopes had been impeded by one of his own as he raced onward to prevent Clauss from taking the rebound, having saved the initial attempt from Kalimuendo. However, a flying volley from Tino Kadewere (44'), who got on the end of Karl Toko Ekambi’s cross, saw both sides share the spoils at full-time. The draw leaves Les Gones unbeaten in two games, WWLWD, as they sit in 8th place, with 38 points from 10W, 9D, & 6L. Peter Bosz is looking to pick up a win, but a poor record that leaves the club without a victory in ten meetings against Lille leaves him slightly nervous ahead of this weekend’s clash. It remains their longest-running record without a win against a selected team in Ligue 1. Lyon have a goal ratio of 1.36 goals per game this season, having scored 34 goals in 25 Ligue 1 games. They have also conceded 31 goals [an average of 1.24 goals per game] and have a goal difference of +3. A 4—2—3—1 formation with Tino Kadewere in attack is anticipated for this fixture against LOSC Lille. Mathis Rayan Cherki (broken foot) remains sidelined for the foreseeable future.
