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. Follow the match live.
15:00 – Balerdi takes risks (16')
That's twice Balerdi has made a mistake in the restart. Davitashvili recovers but cannot continue afterwards.
14:58 – Murillo offside (14')
Greewnood saw Murillo's call but the Marseille defender left a little too early. The assistant referee's flag rises to signal an offside position.
14:57 – Another corner (12')
And here is the third Marseille corner of this Saint-Etienne – OM. Greenwood takes care of it. Maubleu is still in difficulty on his exit and Balerdi was not far from taking advantage of it afterwards.
14:56 – Marseille mastery (11')
Since the start of this Saint-Etienne – OM, the Marseille defense has been called upon very little. Marseille has the ball and attacks regularly.
14:54 – The center pushed back (10')
Henrique and Greenwood combine in the opposing area before the first crosses hard at the near post. Batubinsika is well placed and repels the danger.
14:52 – Merlin's cover (8')
The Marseille defender received a cross at the far post and volleyed but it was very difficult. His shot flies.
14:51 – Pedro's attempt (7')
De Lange makes his first stop in Marseille colors. He is in the path of Pedro's spontaneous strike after a corner that was poorly repelled by the Marseille defense.
2:50 p.m. – The Saint-Etienne response (6')
Balerdi misses his restart. The Marseille captain quickly made up for it by conceding the corner. It's the first for the Greens in this Saint-Etienne – OM.
14:48 – The approximate exit from Maubleu (4')
For his first hot ball to play, Saint-Etienne replacement goalkeeper Brice Maubleu releases but is helped by his defense. This is not the best way to gain confidence.
14:47 – The second corner (3')
After a very good ball release from the Phocéens, Marseille already manages to obtain its second corner from this Saint-Etienne – OM.
14:45 – And already a corner (1')
Abdelhamid concerns the first corner of this Saint-Etienne – OM. It's played with two towards Merlin who strikes towards Kondogbia who deflects at the far post. The Marseillais is alone but misses the target.
2:45 p.m. – Here we go!
The kick-off of this Saint-Etienne – OM is given! A place in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France is at stake.
2:41 p.m. – The entry of the two teams
This Saint-Etienne – OM will soon begin. The Greens and the Marseillais enter the lawn of the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium. The atmosphere is very good in the Chaudron even if Marseille supporters are prohibited from traveling.
2:34 p.m. – The first 100% Ligue 1 shock
This Saint-Etienne – OM is the first of two 100% Ligue 1 shocks in these 32nd finals of the Coupe de France. Indeed, this meeting precedes that between Lens and PSG which is the second clash between two elite teams. It will take place this evening at 9 p.m.
2:27 p.m. – The last match of the year
This Saint-Etienne – OM is the last match of the year for these two teams who will be back at the start of January. The Greens will host Reims upon returning from the winter break on Saturday January 4 in Ligue 1. The next day, Marseille will host Le Havre.
2:20 p.m. – Good Olympian dynamics
Marseille arrives with confidence for this Saint-Etienne – OM. The Marseillais have not lost since the beginning of November and have just won three victories in four matches. Especially since outside, the Phocaeans are intractable. In Ligue 1, they are leaders of the ranking away from home with seven wins and just one setback.
14:13 – An interim coach
Before this Saint-Etienne – OM, the Greens suffered three defeats in a row after a very, very difficult start to the season. This led to the ouster of Olivier Dall'Oglio. The Greens have just recruited a new coach with the arrival of Norwegian Eirik Horneland who cannot yet be on the bench today. It is therefore the director of the training center Laurent Huard who will act as interim for this match.
14:06 – Two very successful teams in the Coupe de France
This Saint-Etienne – OM is a great classic of French football. These are two major French football clubs which appreciate this competition. Marseille is the second most successful club in the competition with 10 crowns compared to 6 for the Greens.
13:59 – Team compositions
We know the two teams starting this Saint-Etienne – OM. As expected, Laurent Huard decided to start Brice Maubleu in place of Gautier Larsonneur in the cages. The starting XI of Stéhanois: Maubleu – Appiah, Batubinsika, Abdelhamid, Pedro – Bouchouari, Ekwah, Mouton – Stassin, Sissoko, Cafaro.
On the side of the OM, Roberto De Zerbi passes by Rulli in the cages. In the meantime, Rabiot who is uncertain is well present. The Marseille XI: de Lange – Murillo, Balerdi, Kondogbia – Luís Henrique, Rongier, Højbjerg, Merlin – Greenwood, Maupay, Rabiot.
1:52 p.m. – Reunion three weeks later
This Saint-Etienne – OM had already taken place at the beginning of December. It was in Ligue 1 on December 8 and the Phocéens had rather easily won against the Greens (2-0). Roberto De Zerbi's players had copiously dominated.
1:45 p.m. – Hello everyone
