This Friday at 18:45, one of the most anticipated matches of the year in female D1 will be broadcast on France 4. An opportunity for all fans of the sport, to watch the shock of the season between the leader and his dolphin. Olympique Lyonnais account before the game, three points ahead of the PSG. A real final before the time because, in case of victory, Lyon will be very difficult to catch up ...

In the first leg, PSG had no weight against the Rhodanian machine. Indeed, the champions of France in title, had totally dominated the meeting by imposing on the score of five goals to zero. Ada Hegerberg, best director of the championship, had also taken the opportunity to register a hat-trick. But at Charlety, this meeting could be totally different. Indeed, undefeated since the beginning of 2016, the two formations seem to be running at full speed. On January 17, during the 14th day of D1, PSG won on the lands of Montpellier (2-1 victory of PSG), another candidate for the final title, and only training to have managed to hang OL this season (draw 0-0) before the winter break.

What will be the forces involved?

In a pre-match press conference, Olympique Lyonnais captain Wendie Renard kicked off the match: "PSG have not yet put the same means in women's football as in men's football. It's incomparable. We are still ahead of them. The group does not change a lot. We know each other by heart. You need to have stability and a strong spine. Despite the announced absence of Amandine Henry, still in the recovery phase, OL can count on a full group for this shock. Line Røddik Hansen (28), Danish international (108 caps) recruited a few days ago on the side of OL, should join the group. The left-back should be in the game this Friday and may well know his first minutes of play in D1. PSG will have to deal with the departures of Kosovare Asllani (Manchester City, England), Lindsey Horan (Portland, USA) and Josephine Henning (breach of contract), but benefits from the arrival of Rosana. Indeed, it will take the Brazilian 33 years for the next six months. Good news for Farid Benstiti who will be able to bet on a player of experience in addition for the future deadlines.

Paris will still have a good card to play. In case of success, the club of the capital could return on equal points with the OL. This match will be a real turning point in the season of the two clubs. And if the title of champion was finally played, this Friday at Charléty? Answer in a little over 24 hours!
