The European campaign OL turned into a nightmare, but so far the Rhone club still has a small chance of not losing everything. Facing Gent (20 h 45), the victory is mandatory if they want a new stadium hosts European matches next spring. Whether C1 or C3.
For now, there is little doubt that more Lyonnais will have to revise downward their initial objectives. With only one point in four days, they can still hope for a miracle if the qualification Zenit, already qualified, won his two matches and that Lyon does the same. A combination of circumstances rather unlikely, especially if one relies on the irregularity whose team has shown since the beginning of the season.
In these circumstances, keeping up appearances and qualify for 16th final of the Europa League would appear as a lesser evil. But this will require a double, and therefore beat AA Gent Tuesday night at the Stade Gerland. Jallet and Umtiti (injured) are available for this game, as Gonalons suspended. Not ideal given the already numerous absent in the workforce and the current lack of confidence shown by the 0-3 major setback last Friday in Nice.
Not only Belgians had given dizzy in OL in the first leg (1-1), but they have also managed to beat Valencia (1-0) at the 4th day. What gives them a significant advantage to approach this game. Admittedly, the Belgian champion title can still hope to snatch a ticket for the 8th finals, but it seems more likely that it will come in the Rhone above all to defend the 3rd place.
