It is a bubbling poster, a date to check every year in the Ligue 1 calendar: Saint-Etienne
And Lyon
meet this Sunday evening for the hottest derby in France, at the end of the 30th day of Ligue 1 (kick -off at 8:45 p.m.). An event that the two teams tackle under special psychological conditions. While all the fires are green for OL on the national scene, Paulo Fonseca's team experienced a small trauma in the middle of the week against Manchester United, with a terrible scenario (4-5 after extra time).
In what proportions can this failure impact Lyonnais? It will be one of the keys to this derby. Opposite, the Greens obviously hope for a mentally weakened rival. Since the start of the season, ASSE has taken most of its points at home, with choice of choice against Lille, Strasbourg or Auxerre, who all broke his teeth in Forez. The Greens will still count on the exceptional atmosphere of their cauldron to thwart all the forecasts. They will need it, in the fight for maintenance. With a derby, photography of the ranking no longer counts.
The expected compos
Saint-Etienne : Larsonneur – Appiah, Bernauer, Nade, Petrot – Ekwah, Bouchouari, Moueffek – Cardona, Stassin, Davitashvili.
Lyon : Descamps-Kumbedi, Caleta-Car, Niakhate, Abner-Matic, Tolisso, Mikautadze, Almada, Cherki-Lacazette.
Where to see the match?
This match between AS Saint-Etienne and Olympique Lyonnais counting for the 30th day of Ligue 1 will be broadcast this Sunday on Dazn, from 8:45 pm.
