Crystal Palace, Darío Osorio's English club, visit Olympique Lyonnais in France this Thursday, October 15. The match is part of the second round of the UEFA Europa League's league phase and kicks off at 13:45 Chile time (16:45 GMT).
According to Cooperativa, the match will be played at Groupama Stadium. ADN Radio identifies the venue as Parc OL, the French club's stadium's current name. In Chile, ESPN 5 will broadcast the match on television, and Disney+ Premium will stream it. Watching on Disney+ Premium requires a paid subscription.
Both teams enter the match with perfect records in the tournament. Palace thrashed Poland's Lech Poznan 4-0 in London in their international opener. Lyon also started with a win, beating Anderlecht 2-1 in Belgium.
The London side are in good form domestically. In their latest reported result, they beat Nottingham Forest 3-1 in the Premier League, the top division of English football.
Osorio's personal situation is more complicated. ADN Radio reported that the Chile international has gone four consecutive matches without playing and attributes that decision to coach Pierre Sage. The sources provide no details about a possible starting lineup, so it is unclear whether the former Universidad de Chile player will take the field in France.
The match is another opportunity for Osorio to return to action after that spell on the bench. If Palace win in Lyon, they will reach six points in the league phase.
