Olympique Lyonnais travels to face Sparta Prague this Tuesday in the first leg of their Champions League third preliminary round tie. All broadcast details are available here.
Last season, Olympique Lyonnais secured a commendable 4th place finish in Ligue 1, earning them a spot in the Champions League preliminary rounds. The French club now stands just two rounds away from rejoining the prestigious C1 group stage, a level they haven’t reached since 2020. This presents a significant challenge, especially considering their somewhat unconvincing pre-season preparations, which included a heavy 4-0 defeat against Betis Sevilla in their most recent friendly match.
Sparta Prague, on the other hand, has already commenced its domestic season, having played two rounds of the Chance Liga. Last season’s vice-champions, finishing behind rivals Slavia, the Czech side has shown a mixed bag of results early in the current campaign, with one loss (1-3 against Brno) and one victory (3-1 versus Zlin). Under the guidance of Brian Priske, the Prague team previously demonstrated their European pedigree in the 2025-2026 season, successfully navigating the C1 group stage qualifiers after overcoming Shamrock Rovers, Steaua Bucarest, and Malmö.
