❌ Lyon (France 1st Division 14th / Last 5 matches: LLLWD)
Lyon develops their play centered around Lacazette (FW). They recently lost 2-3 to Marseille, revealing problems in both attack and defense. Only Tousart (CM) excels at forward passes from midfield, but he struggles to coordinate with other players, making the attack sluggish. Particularly, the coexistence of Micaud (FW) and Lacazette fails to create organic play. In the defense line, utilizing full-backs as stoppers creates vulnerabilities in behind, and their defensive concentration decreases as the game progresses.
- Injuries: None
❌ Olympiacos (Greece 1st Division 3rd / Last 5 matches: WWLWD)
Olympiacos employs a 4-3-3 formation and develops counter-attacks centered around Martins (RW) and Willian (LW). They recently lost 1-2 to Thessaloniki, exposing defensive issues. With the lack of coordination among the second-line players, El Karbi (FW) frequently becomes isolated, making it difficult to score heavily. The defensive line of Ntouoi (DC) and Karmou (DC) provides stable defense based on strong aerial ability and will likely withstand Lyon's pressing without much trouble.
- Injuries: Lechos (DF / ★★★★), Masouras (FW / ★★★)
❌ Result Prediction
Lyon is expected to dominate the game, but their disorganized attack will struggle to break through Olympiacos' tight defense. Olympiacos also seems unlikely to penetrate Lyon's defense due to issues with the coordination of their second-line players. Ultimately, a dull goalless draw is anticipated, as both teams find it hard to create decisive opportunities.
