Since January 21, 2022, fans of French football have no longer had the right to a derby between OL and AS Saint-Etienne in Ligue 1. And this wait will end this Sunday evening. The two rivals will meet again for the 11th day of the French championship. Find out everything you need to know about this poster.
Sitting in 6th place in Ligue 1, Olympique Lyonnais is in the midst of a fight for European qualification. He remains very close to the top 4. Pierre Sage's men expect to return to victory in the championship, after two draws in a row. And what's better than doing it during a derby?
AS Saint-Etienne hopes, for its part, to create the feat during this derby. The Greens are in the red zone of Ligue 1, in 16th position. They also have difficulty traveling. Olivier Dall'Oglio's team will try to change the situation at Groupama Stadium.
Information on OL and its injured
Uncertainty in the ranks of OL. It is not yet known whether Ernest Nuamah will be available for the derby.
XI probable : Perri – Maitland-Niles, Caleta-Car, Niakhaté, Tagliafico – Veretout, Matic, Tolisso – Cherki, Lacazette, Fofana
Information on AS Saint-Etienne and its injured
Mathieu Cafaro will be suspended for this derby. Anthony Briançon, Thomas Monconduit, Ben Old and Ibrahima Wadji are injured.
XI probable : Larsonneur – Mason, Batubinsika, Nade, Petrot – Boakye, Bouchouari, Ekwah, Sheep, Davitashvili – Sissoko
He is one of the players in great form in the OL ranks. The young 19-year-old winger was able to score twice in the last three days of Ligue 1. He does not expect to let up for a match highly anticipated by his fans. Malick Fofana will have what it takes to make the difference this evening, with a goal or an assist.
Pierre Sage's men have been very efficient for several weeks. They have managed to score at least two goals in five of their last six days in Ligue 1. OL will have enough to do the same during this derby.
OL remain the big favorites for this meeting. He intends to fight for a place in the Champions League, while his rival will mainly aim to remain in the elite of French football. Logic should be respected on the Groupama Stadium side. We are betting on a 2-0 victory for Les Gones.
