After a 3-1 win in last weekend's game, the team has won 3 and drawn 1 of their last 4 games, scoring 8 goals while conceding only 1, a good performance in both offense and defense. In the match against Troyes, Lacazette scored his 3rd goal. This hot form scorer, naturally, is the focus of today's cup, as Lacazette will be celebrating his 300th match in Lyon. Moreover, Lacazette has already scored 145 goals on behalf of Lyon, ranking 3rd on the club's all-time top scorer list, and is only 4 goals short of equaling the legendary scorer, Lacombe, who is ranked 2nd.
After all, Lyon is only ranked 9th in Ligue 1, 8 points away from the 5th place in the league, and it is quite difficult to enter the European competition through the league. Therefore, Blanco believes that through the French Cup trophy to enter the European competition, but is a "shortcut". In this match, Lyon will be missing Tagliafico and Kombedi, but the good thing is that Gusto was bought and rented back, Lyon will not have no one to use in the position of wingbacks. As for the double-header, Blanco said in the press conference that the data proves that the players are in good physical condition.
In the last round of the league as the guest 3-1 beat Rennes, got the first victory in the last three games, but also ended two consecutive games without scoring offense performance. However, it is a pity that the team's main left back Ismaili was injured in the first half and left the field, tonight's game will be, and the top center forward David because of a hand fracture, the league debut with injuries did not build, the French Cup game there is also the possibility of the transfer of rest. Compared to Lyon, Lille's defense is relatively loose, and if the offensive firepower drops, the outlook is naturally not optimistic.
