The Corsicans move into the city of Les Gones. On the occasion of the opening match of the 2022-2023 Ligue 1 season between Olympique Lyonnais and AC Ajaccio, this Friday August 5 (9 p.m.) at Groupama Stadium, the French champion trophy is presented in Game.
For the Lyonnais, it is a first test after a promising transfer window (Lacazette, Tolisso, Tagliafico) but a very contrasting preparation (three victories, two heavy defeats and a draw against Inter Milan). An OL who dreams of returning to the C1 next season.
On the side of Ajaccio, the smallest budget of the championship aims without ambiguity the maintenance, in a season with four descents. Already very impressive in defense last season in Ligue 2 (19 goals conceded, historic record), the Corsicans have further strengthened their rear guard during the summer, with in particular the arrival of the solid midfielder Thomas Mangani. We can therefore expect a Lyon seat, with the obligation for OL to find the fault.
