the match more threatened by snow?

The ASSE-OM match was threatened in recent days by possible snowfall in Saint-Etienne. Update on the situation on D-2.

This is no news, winter is harsher in Forez than in Provence and it is not uncommon for it to snow in Saint-Etienne in December, or even later in the winter. We all remember that evening in March 2005 when the Greens beat OM 2-0 on a snowy pitch with Koji Nakata's famous clown action.

This Sunday evening, the ASSE-OM match should this time be spared by snowfall. At the start of the week, it was announced that it could snow during the night from Saturday to Sunday in Saint-Etienne, but the latest weather forecasts are more reassuring.

It should not snow on Sunday in Saint-Etienne

According to Météo France, it should rain on Sunday evening in Geoffroy-Guichard, but the temperatures should not be negative and there should therefore be no snow, nor postponement of the match on the 14th day of Ligue 1.

Good news for OM, who remain on two victories in a row against Lens (3-1) and Monaco (2-1) and hope to continue against Saint-Etienne this Sunday. Especially since PSG was held in check by AJA this Friday (0-0), which could allow OM to come back to within five points of the Parisian leader in the event of success against the Greens.
