DIRECT. Lyon – West Ham: line-up, streaming… The pre-match live

20:45 – Invincible OL

Olympique Lyonnais is carrying out a top-flight European campaign and remains undefeated. After flying through the group stage winning 5 of their 6 games (for a draw), the Lyonnais eliminated Porto (1-0, 1-1) in the round of 16 before earning a first leg draw against West Ham in quarter.

20:40 – Faivre: “Be more killers”

“We have to be more killers than on the way out, play the game and score. If we play our football and we are all 100%, that will do it”, explained Romain Faivre. The former Brestois hopes to participate in the qualification in the semi-finals for what he describes as a match “the most important of his career“.

20:35 – Bosz: “We are preparing to win”

“We are preparing to win, for that we have to shoot and score. The first leg does not change anything, nor does the end of the away goal rule”, declared Peter Bosz, in a press conference. The Rhone technician intends to see his team more offensive and concretize his domination.

20:30 – No winner in the first leg

In the first leg, Lyon missed the victory and could only bring back the draw from London (1-1). Ultra dominating and in numerical superiority throughout the second period, the Lyonnais were surprised on the return from the locker room offering a goal to Bowen before logically picking up thanks to Ndombele.

20:25 – Act II

Olympique Lyonnais and West Ham face each other for the second time in their common history. The first, last week in London, ended in a draw.

20:20 – A decimated defense

Kurt Zouma was injured last weekend. The French international defender twisted his right ankle against Brentford and will be out for at least four weeks. Sent off in the first leg, Aaron Creswell will also miss the call, like Angelo Ogbonna, leaving Issa Diop as the only specialist in central defense.

20:15 – Double loss for West Ham

Last Sunday, West Ham prepared very poorly for their quarter-final return, losing to Brentford (0-2). David Moyes saw his team collapse in the second half and concede two goals, the first from Mbuemo as soon as he returned from the locker room (48th) then the second from Toney shortly after the hour mark (64th).

20:13 – A tifo in forecast

For this Europa League quarter-final second leg against West Ham, Olympique Lyonnais has planned to deploy a huge tifo along the entire length of the stand facing the officials. What to mark this essential meeting in the Rhodaniens season.

20:10 – Lyon held in check

Last weekend, Lyon snatched a draw in Strasbourg (1-1). In Alsace, Peter Bosz’s men suffered and conceded the opener in the 20th minute (Sissoko). They waited until the 90th minute to find the solution and equalize thanks to Toko Ekambi.

20:07 – Lopes absent, Paqueta finally there

Hit in the thigh, Anthony Lopes will not hold his place in the Lyon goal for this quarter-final return against West Ham. Also announced forfeit because tested positive for Covid-19, Lucas Paqueta finally tested negative today and is present in the Lyon group. However, he is not a holder.

20:05 – A Helvetian whistle

The meeting will be refereed by the Swiss Sandro Schärer. He will be assisted by his Bekim Zogaj and Jan Köbeli. Italian Davide Massa will officiate as the fourth referee. Italian Marco Di Bello and his assistant Paolo Valeri will be in charge of VAR.
