This is the long-awaited match of this 11th day of Ligue 1. This Sunday evening, at Groupama Stadium, Olympique Lyonnais hosts AS Saint-Etienne in a derby which promises to be explosive and momentous for both teams.
Eighth in the standings with 15 points on the clock, OL can continue their series of five matches without defeat in Ligue 1 against their sworn enemy. Alexandre Lacazette's partners want to move up the rankings and reach the top of the table.
Opposite, AS Saint-Etienne, which is in 16th place, remains on a controlled success against RC Strasbourg on the previous day. The Greens were full of confidence for this shock which could definitely launch their season.
