Still reeling from a disappointing start to their European campaign last week in Prague, where they suffered a 2-1 loss – compounded by a missed penalty from Tolisso – in the first leg of the Champions League 3rd qualifying round, Lyon finds itself with its back against the wall this Tuesday.

Playing on home turf at the Groupama Stadium, OL must secure a victory to keep alive their hopes of reaching the Champions League group stage, a stage they haven’t graced since their memorable semi-final run in 2020 against Bayern Munich. Should they succeed, the French giants are likely to face Turkish club Fenerbahçe, who have already established a strong position for qualification to the play-offs after their match against Sturm Graz.

When to watch the Lyon Sparta Prague return leg?

Paulo Fonseca’s side may benefit from a significant advantage: Sparta Prague recently played their third league match this Saturday, enduring a 3-1 defeat against Mlada Boleslav, which could impact their recovery and readiness for this crucial European fixture.

Anticipated changes for Lyon include Paulo Fonseca likely relying on his formidable attacking trio of Fofana, Openda, and Nuamah, alongside the return of Moussa Niakhaté in a four-man defensive setup. The whistle for this pivotal match at Lyon’s Groupama Stadium is scheduled for 9 PM.

Which TV channels will broadcast the Lyon Sparta Prague clash?

The highly anticipated return leg will be broadcast live on Canal+ and Canal+ Foot, both regular broadcasters of the competition.
