Having fallen back into its failings on the side of Auxerre last weekend, Olympique Lyonnais will once again try to revive a good dynamic on the lawn of Angers on behalf of the 25th day of Ligue 1.
What time for Angers – OL?
While this new day of the championship will end on Sunday evening with an enticing Classic between OM and PSG, Lyon will move forward to the lawn of the Stade Raymond Kopa in Angers this Saturday February 25 at 5 p.m.. The referee of this meeting will be Florent Batta.
On which channel to follow Angers – OL?
Like all Saturday afternoon matches in Ligue 1, this game between Angers and Lyon will be broadcast exclusively on the antenna ofAmazon Prime Video.
The probable compositions of Angers – OL:
Dead last in the French championship, ten points behind the first non-relegation player, Angers has one foot in L2. But to continue to keep hope, the SCO must find the taste of victory, which the Angevin club has not known since September in L1. For that, it will be necessary to beat Lyon with a cascade of absentees knowing that Abdel Bouhazama will be deprived of Diony, El Melali, Fofana or Kalla.
La compo probable d’Angers : Bernardoni – Valery, Hountondji, Blazic, Ghoulam – Abdelli, Capelle, Bentaleb, Doumbia – Sima, Niane.
Slightly up in the standings after a series of good results in recent weeks, OL fell again at Auxerre last weekend (1-2). Now ninth in the championship, eight lengths from the Top 5, the Rhone club no longer has the right to make mistakes if it wants to continue dreaming of Europe. But to get a good result at the SCO, Laurent Blanc will have to compose without Boateng, Aouar, Tolisso or Gusto, injured.
The probable composition of the OL: Lopes – Diamond, Lovren, Lukeba – Kumbedi, Caqueret, Thiago Mendes, Tagliafico – Cherki – Sarr, Dembele.

Laurent Blanc, OL coach: « I’m very good. Against Lens, we suffered but we played as a team. It was very positive. From experience, I knew that the match after was going to be difficult. We had spent a lot of energy. Our team has its ups and downs. I told the players what I thought. The only tolerance I have for this group is that they are young. They learn. They have to go through it. We wanted this squad to be like that. You have to accept that you have made room for young people. The solution may be to bring in young people who will bring their talent. We must advance our young people quickly. The only way is for them to go out into the field. We are not dropped outside the top four, but everyone is looking for points. In the long term, you have to be able to perform match after match. The work is long. We have no patience ».
