After a weekend break, Ligue 1 is back with Le Havre – OL, Sunday (3 p.m.). This meeting will be refereed by Abdelatif Kherradji.
The wait has lasted long enough. It only lasted one weekend, but the good dynamic of OL managed to create a gap among Lyon supporters. Forced to be patient after the victory against Nantes in Décines, lovers of the Rhone club will be able to get their dose of OL during the coming weekend. For the resumption of Ligue 1 after the international break, Pierre’s players Sage are moving onto the Le Havre pitch for the 8th day. Last season left some bad memories of this trip to Normandy with a defeat, two red cards (O’Brien and Caleta-Car) and a feeling of having had contrary arbitration decisions from Gaël Angoula.
A first for Kherradji with OL
For this new confrontation, Abdelatif Kherradji will kick off at 3 p.m. at Stade Océane with Mehdi Rahmouni and Valentine Evrard as assistants. This will also be a first for the 38-year-old head referee with OL, because he has never crossed paths with the Lyonnais, whether in Ligue 1 or the Coupe de France. While Yohann Rouinsard and Julian Bell will observe contentious situations from the VAR bus, Edgar Barrento will be the fourth referee.
