After a saving victory against Strasbourg (2-0), theAS Saint-Etienne took a breath of fresh air to tackle the derby against Olympique Lyonnais in ideal conditions.
An electric shock always special for the Greens. And for this highly anticipated meeting, Olivier Dall’Oglio has the pleasure of seeing the infirmary empty. Thomas Monconduit and Anthony Briançon are on their way back, while Ibrahima Wadji and Pierre Cornud are also in the recovery phase. “ We recorded the return of Ibrahima Wadji, he did a full week but also Pierre Cornud who did a full week without problem. For Cornud as for Wadji it’s good, they lack playing time but it will come little by little.”
Dall’Oglio ready to keep his system?
Olivier Dall’Oglio should therefore not take any risks for this high-intensity match. On the other hand, a real question remains about the system: will the Greens coach change his animation for this special match? Nothing is to be excluded.
If the 4-3-3 remains the trend, the choice of men should not surprise. Sissoko is expected at the forefront, supported by the excellent Davitashvili, top scorer for the promoted club.
The expected line-up for Saint-Etienne : Larsonneur – Mason, Batubinsika, Nadé, Pétrot – Boakye, Bouchouari, Ekwah, Mouton, Davitashvili – Sissoko.
