AS Saint-Etienne and Rodez face each other for the second pre-playoff of Ligue 2 on the path to the elite, this Friday (8:30 p.m.). Here is the expected line-up for the Greens.
It’s the big day for AS Saint-Etienne. After finishing in third place in the Ligue 2 standings, the Greens face Rodez, this season’s sensation team, for a highly anticipated pre-playoff.
“We are preparing differently, yes, because we can qualify this play-off as a Cup match,” explained Olivier Dall’Oglio at a press conference this Thursday. It will take determination and audacity. Rodez has nothing to lose, do we? We have to leave that, concentrate on our team. »
2 good news for the Greens’ lineup
With which starting team? Two cases have concerned all ASSE supporters in recent days: the physical states of striker Irvin Cardona and goalkeeper Gautier Larsonneur. Olivier Dall’Oglio gave reassuring news about these two key players for his team.
“ For Irvin Cardona, touched after the match at QRM, it’s okay. Gautier Larsonneur resumed yesterday and that’s fine too,” explained the Greens coach. “It also goes for Thomas Monconduit who is fit, but for whom we will make a decision tomorrow. This is good news !“. It remains to be seen whether these experienced players will be lined up from the start this Friday evening. There is optimism for Larsonneur’s tenure. Cardona’s is more uncertain.
The expected line-up for Saint-Etienne : Larsonneur – Maçon, Briançon, Nadé, Pétrot – Bouchouari, Moueffek, Chambost – Mbuku, Sissoko or Cardona, Cafaro.
