Despite the severe weather which has affected the Saint-Etienne region in recent hours, the confrontation with Geoffroy Guichard should take place on Saturday at 7 p.m., for the 8th day of Ligue 1.
There will probably be plenty of football on Saturday evening at 7 p.m. at a sold-out Geoffroy Guichard, according to ASSE. But to attend the Ligue 1 match between Saint-Etienne and Racing Club de Lens, you may have to take out your boots. And above all, be vigilant following the severe weather in the Saint-Etienne region, the club reminded in a press release published on social networks.
The Loire department is placed on orange alert “rain-flood” and “flood” alert, according to the Loire Prefecture website, and the damage is numerous. “Certain roads are currently disrupted and make access to Saint-Etienne difficult,” specifies the club, which encourages “the Green People to show solidarity through carpooling.”
The A 47, in particular, is partially reopened to light vehicles but part still remains flooded. While the TER and TGV rail lines between Lyon and Saint-Etienne will be “unavailable for several days”.
The Saint-Etienne club ensures that it remains cautious about the evolution of the situation, but maintains its optimistic line of recent days, with a little more than 24 hours before the match. For its part, the League has still not communicated either on the maintenance or on the potential postponement of the meeting.
