Two clubs in opposite halves of the Ligue 1 table will do battle today in a league match between Olympique Lyonnais and AS Monaco. The first-division clash scheduled for 2:30 p.m. ET will be held at the Stade de Gerland and can be live streamed here free.
Olympique Lyon's Layvin Kurzawa had this to offer ahead of today's league encounter (via Ligue 1's official website): "We have an extraordinary opportunity to show all the doubters that we can surprise them. It's up to us to take it. I must admit that with a week to go until the start of the Champions League, I can hear the anthem getting louder and louder in my head. I've spent so many [Champions League] nights in front of the TV."
But first, Kurzawa and company must focus on today's league opposition.
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Lyon's Alexandre Lacazette has been been instrumental in the club's early season success. In four appearances, the 23-year-old has three goals and an average of 3.8 successful take-ons per match.
