The match between Lyon and Toulouse, which opens the 10th stage of the French championship, is scheduled for Friday 7 October at 22:00 at the Parc Olympique Lyon, live on Prima Sport 4.

Lyon are also at risk of missing out on this season’s European Cups, after only finishing 8th last season.

Peter Bosch’s side are in seventh place after nine rounds with 13 points, nine less than Lorient in third place, which secures a place in the last preliminary round of the UEFA Champions League.

Despite having one of the best teams in Ligue 1, in which we find important names such as goalkeeper Anthony López, defenders Jerome Boateng and Nicolas Tagliafico, midfielders Corentin Tolisso and Ousme Ouar or strikers Moussa Dembele and Alexandre Lacazette, Olympique Lyonnais lost without the right to call the last four matches in the championship.

For this reason, Peter Bosch is under great threat of dismissal, and only a win with Toulouse will save his job, writes L’Equipe: “No emergency meeting has been called, but the analysis will be carried out after the match with Toulouse.” Aulas (not Jean-Michel Aulas, president of OL) knows that the support of his coach will be minimal in case of another failure.”

The only glimmer of hope for Olympique Lyonnais is the fact that they have won 11 of their last 12 games against Toulouse (one of which ended in a draw), ending a three-game losing streak away from home.

Toulouse are 12th in the French Ligue 1 with 11 points from nine games.

The side coached by Philippe Montagnier, who promoted them last year after leading them to the top of Ligue 2, travel to Lyon on the back of a morale-boosting 4-2 home win over Montpellier.

The last time these two teams met was in the 2019-2020 season, when Lyon won both legs against Toulouse, who were also relegated (3-2 away and 3-0 at home).

There was also a match in the French Cup Lyon – Toulouse 4-1.
