FCSB-Lyon, the probable formations

Lyon, not completely satisfied with the season, is looking to Europe to revive itself. The Europa League round of 16 sees the French take on FCSB in a doubleheader. Whoever wins will face the winner between Real Sociedad and Manchester United.

Charalampus is expected to opt for a 4-2-3-1: In attack, it will be up to Gheroghita not to make the absence of bomber Birlingea weigh heavily. In the middle of the field, Sut and Chiriches will make up the two-man line. In defense, Ngezana and Dawa will form the central pair in front of Tarnovanu.

Lyon, on the other hand, will take the field with a 4-3-3, with Lacazette as the center forward and Nuamah and Cherki completing the trident.  In midfield, Tolisso, Veretout and Tessman will manage the game, while in defense Caleta-Car and Niakhate will form the central pair protecting goalkeeper Perri.

Probable lineups

FCSB (4-2-3-1): Tarnovanu; M.Popescu, Ngezana, Dawa, Radunovic; Chiriches, Sut; Miculescu, Tanase, Cisotti; Gheorghita. Coach: Charalampous.

Lyon (4-3-3): Perri; Maitland-Niles, Caleta-Car, Niakhate, Tagliafico; Veretout, Tessmann, Tolisso; Nuamah, Lacazette, Cherki. Coach: Fonseca.
