OL v Fenerbahçe second leg rated 4 out of 5 risk by DNLH | OneFootball

OL host Fenerbahçe on Wednesday at 21:00 with a Champions League place on the line, the tie designated high risk by the Division nationale de lutte contre le hooliganisme, prompting tighter controls around the visiting support.

According to L'Équipe, the DNLH has rated the match 4 out of 5 and local authorities have held several meetings in recent days to organise the operation.

About 2,000 Fenerbahçe supporters are expected at Groupama Stadium in Lyon. They must collect tickets in advance, as is standard for European away travel, then head to the ground only on designated shuttle buses.

Access to the stadium’s vicinity is barred to non-ticket holders, with a perimeter running from avenue Verdun to avenue de France, via boulevard du 18 Juin 1940. The measure will apply from Wednesday morning until the end of the day.

Security has been reinforced for the event. On the pitch, OL have home advantage after a 1-1 draw in the first leg.

Home fans hope to recreate the noise of the previous round against Sparta Prague, a 3-0 home win that overturned the first-leg defeat and kept their European campaign going.
