Lyon’s Predicted Lineup Against Besiktas: Benrahma to ⁢Start, Nuamah Likely on the Bench

Lyon’s Robust Squad as They ‍Face Besiktas

As Olympique​ Lyonnais⁢ prepares for their next ‌match‌ in the UEFA Europa League against Besiktas, ⁢they enter with a wave of confidence and ‍minimal injury issues. Having secured victories ‍against both Olympiacos and⁢ Rangers earlier ⁣in this campaign, Lyon​ aims to​ extend their winning streak.

Strategic ‌Selection Dilemmas for Coach​ Pierre Sage

With ‌nearly all ‍players⁢ fit and available, coach Pierre Sage faces some challenging​ choices regarding his starting lineup. Notable talents like Maxence Caqueret, Ernest Nuamah, Georges Mikautadze, ⁢Gift Orban, and Wilfried Zaha may find​ themselves sidelined as substitutes for this fixture—indicative of the⁣ team’s depth.

In contrast to these ‌potential omissions from the starting ‌XI, form​ seems to favor Malick⁤ Fofana who is poised to maintain his slot on‍ the pitch. ⁢Meanwhile, Saïd‍ Benrahma appears set to step into ⁣a ⁤significant role opposite ⁤him. The current tactical‌ approach favors a 4-2-3-1 formation ‍that has propelled Lyon’s resurgence thus ‌far.

Consistency Among Key Players

Rayan Cherki is expected to ‌hold onto his position following his impressive performances recently. Alexandre Lacazette‍ will also be crucial⁣ in spearheading the attack as he continues ‌demonstrating ⁢leadership on the field.

Likely Formation ⁣Against Besiktas

The ‍anticipated⁢ lineup for Lyon features:

• Goalkeeper: Lucas Perri
• Defenders: Nicolás Tagliafico; Moussa Niakhaté; Duje⁢ Caleta-Car; ⁢Ainsley Maitland-Niles
• Midfielders: Corentin Tolisso; ⁤Jordan Veretout
• Forwards:⁣ Malick ⁢Fofana; Rayan ‍Cherki;​ Saïd Benrahma
• Striker: ⁤Alexandre Lacazette

This arrangement presents a ⁣well-rounded ⁤team ‍capable of overcoming‍ opposition​ challenges while maintaining offensive ‍pressure—a strategy ⁣aimed at securing vital‌ points in their Europa ⁣League campaign.

As action heats up against Besiktas tonight at ⁣Groupama Stadium， all eyes will be​ on how well these players perform under ⁣pressure while‌ aiming for another three points!
