Etienne – OM: two big absences to be expected for Marseille

AS Saint-Etienne hosts Olympique de Marseille this Sunday in one of the 100% Ligue 1 shocks of these 32nd finals of the Coupe de France.

AS Saint-Etienne is doing badly. The Coupe de France arrives as a break before the winter break which could do some good. The Stéphanois remain on a series of three consecutive defeats and have only won two games in the last eight matches they have played. Among these lost matches, the Greens lost to the opponent they face today in a game where they were largely dominated (0-2). The arrival of new coach Eirik Horneland could give a boost even if the Norwegian technician will not yet be on the bench this Sunday.

Opposite, OM are doing quite well and the dynamic is very different from that of their opponent of the day. The Phocaeans have won three of their last four matches and hope to end the year in style by qualifying for the rest of the Coupe de France. Last year, Marseille reached the quarter-finals before a surprise elimination against Annecy on penalties. “We are very keen on the Coupe de France,” assured Marseille coach Roberto De Zerbi.
