The Lensois people will vibrate this Saturday with the reception of OL at the Bollaert stadium as part of the 31st day of Ligue 1. A top-of-the-table meeting between the 5th and 3rd in the championship. Two teams whose European ambitions depend on results on the ground. And if the RCL wants to pursue its crazy dream of Europe, followed by Rennes and Marseille, the Sang et Or do not have much leeway.

On the side of Lyon, this meeting appears capital. Landed in the title race after his home defeat against PSG, the Olympique Lyonnais must think about securing its place on the podium. Because behind, AS Monaco is only one point behind and will not hesitate to overtake Lyon if the opportunity arises. If Lyon’s leaders are to start accepting the idea that the title might not come back to Les Gones this season, dropping the podium could be a lot harder to digest.
