ASSE must only count on a victory this Saturday. At least a draw, after a heavy defeat against a remaining competitor. Saint-Étienne welcomes Liam Rosenior's RCSA this Saturday at 9:00 p.m., for the 10th day of Ligue 1.
With seven points acquired in nine days of the championship, Olivier Dall'Oglio's men now appear slightly behind. While Le Havre maintained itself with 32 points last season (0.94 ppm), ASSE has a slightly lower average (0.77).
But the reception of the Racing Club de Strasbourg could constitute a boon for the Greens. More comfortable at home (six points out of 12 possible, against one point away), Saint-Étienne had already managed to overthrow the Mastiffs on September 13.
What workforce for ASSE?
Lacking a solution, Olivier Dall'Oglio rotated his squad against Angers. Choices that paid off. Before their substitutions (65'), Louis Mouton and Benjamin Bouchouari damaged the Angevine team in midfield.
If the Stéphanois coach cannot count on Ben Old, recently operated on and absent for four to six months, ASSE can rely on Augustine Boakye on an upward slope. “He offers increasingly solid things. He is one of the players who will bring strength to the team.”, underlined Olivier Dall'Oglio before the trip to Angers.
But the technician must rely on a workforce that is still partially decimated to hope to maintain his position. Pierre Cornud and Yvann Maçon have returned to collective training, although the second is closer to a return. Ibrahima Wadji was also back in Etrat this week.
But, in difficulty in defense, Olivier Dall'Oglio must quickly find a solution to resolve the defensive deficiencies. Without Anthony Briançon, who only recently returned to racing, the coach must deal with Mickaël Nadé, Dylan Batubinsika and a struggling Yunis Abdelhamid.
