Olympique Lyon play host to FCSB at their Stade Olympique Lyonnais in the Europa League last 16, return leg. Les Gones proved their worth in the first leg by beating FCSB 3-1 in Bucharest and they now aim to defend their two-goal lead in front of home fans. Duo Cherki – Nuamah is in line for a recall to the starting XI after scoring as substitutes in a 2-0 win over Nice, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Romans, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Universitatea Craiova, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Lyon. As FCSB have no other option but to go all guns blazing at les Gones, we predict that the Ligue 1 outfit are going to seal the victory on the break. The good news for the visiting team is that experienced midfielder Valentin Cretu is back from suspension.
Highlighted Player (Alexandre Lacazette):
Alexandre Lacazette is a hometown boy of Lyon, a powerful striker who went through the youth ranks of the French side to become one of the most important players for Les Gones. The 25-year-old forward was also a member of all France national team selections becoming a European champion at the age of 19 by scoring the winner in the final against Spain.
This goal gave him a reputation of a big game player, one he went on to uphold on various occasions at his club. Lacazette is a hard working forward an accomplished finisher of the ball able to score from different positions. The most prolific striker in his side and among the top ones in the Ligue 1, Alexandre Lacazette scored more than 20 league goals last two seasons on a trot.
Constantly linked with a move away from Lyon, Alexandre Lacazette refuses to speak about anything other than his football and is leaving all the talk to the football pitch.
