Tuesday at 20:00 on “Parc Olympique Lyonnais” will take place the duel Ol. Lyon– RB Leipzig, match counting for the last leg of Group G of the Champions League.
The Germans need a draw to qualify for the first-place Champions League spring while Lyon battles with Zenit for the second place in the upper stages of the competition.
Lyon is in 3rd place, perfectly matched with Zenith, both with 7 points and a goal of 7-6.
Lyon is doomed to win in this match, as it did in the tour of Germany, score 2-0, but must also benefit from a positive result of Benfica in their own match with Zenit. The Lusitanians are in turn forced to victory in order to hope for the 3rd place to ensure their presence in the Europa League spring. However, to achieve this, Benfica would have to impose a difference of three goals considering that the tour gave Russia 3-1.
On equal points with Zenit, Lyon would be disadvantaged considering they gave up 2-0 in Russia and only managed a draw at home, 1-1.

Lyons: Lopes – Tete, Andersen, Denayer, Marcal – Mendes, Tousart – Traore, Depay (c), Aouar – Dembele
