After three consecutive victories in the league, including a stunning one against OM, OL fell last weekend in Monaco (2-0 defeat) and will try to revive when they host Nice at the Groupama Stadium this Saturday evening (9 p.m.) as part of the 24th day of Ligue 1. For this shock, Peter Bosz, the coach of the Rhone club, will be deprived of Rayan Cherki, injured, while Jason Denayer and Jeff Reine-Adélaïde are in the recovery phase. For his part, Jérôme Boateng is excluded from the group on a choice of the coach.
According to L’Équipe, OL will present themselves in a 4-2-3-1 formation with Anthony Lopes in the cages, protected by a four-man defense made up of Léo Dubois, Thiago Mendes, Castello Lukeba and Emerson, from right to left. In the midfield, Maxence Caqueret and Tanguy Ndombele will form the double pivot while Lucas Paqueta will evolve a notch higher, in the position of playmaker. On the wings, Romain Faivre and Karl Toko Ekambi will try to shine Moussa Dembélé, expected at the point of the attack.
The probable line-up of OL according to L’Équipe : Lopes – Dubois, Mendes, Lukeba, Emerson – Caqueret, Ndombele – Faivre, Paqueta, Toko Ekambi – Dembélé
Note that the regional daily Le Progrès is also betting on a 4-2-3-1 but with Malo Gusto established in the right lane and Damien Da Silva expected in the right axis of the central defense.

For its part, Nice was beaten by Clermont (0-1) last weekend in Ligue 1 but remains on a crushing victory against OM (4-1) last Wednesday in the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France at the Allianz Riviera. For this trip to the Rhône, Christophe Galtier, the coach of the Riviera club, will have to compose without Jordan Amavi and Youcef Atal, both injured.
