Lyon host 12th place Angersa in the French league on Friday. Lyon are currently in third place, hoping to achieve a Champions League playoff spot. They lie 3 places above St Etienne. OL have recorded three defeats in a row in this month of April. The team of Bruno Genesio had been eliminated in the semi-finals of the Coupe de France by Rennes (2-3) and was still beaten at Groupama Stadium by Dijon FCO (1-3), then by FC Nantes (2-1) in Ligue 1. That's a total of 8 goals conceded. Clearly, the defensive concern of Lyon has jumped in the eyes of all. And Marcelo was singled out as the weak link in the axis. The coach of the Gones had left him on the bench against the Canaries, in the last match. He had made a redevelopment by positioning Kenny Tete in central defence. Indeed, Lyon needs more than ever the support of its supporters to try to finish on the podium. The home side will be the big favourites. Lyon were winners last time round this season.
