An electric derby, burning issues: Saint-Etienne and Lyon compete in a shock that looks like a turning point for the end of the season.
30e Ligue 1 day closes with a historic derby between AS Saint-Etienne and Olympique Lyonnais, this Sunday evening. This mythical confrontation exceeds, this time again, the symbolic framework. For the Greens, it is a question of survival. For OL, a European ticket is at stake. Between the urgency of points and the pressure of the podium, the atmosphere promises to be explosive this Sunday evening at the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium.
A crucial match for both camps
The sporting context makes this poster even more exciting. Lyon, recently eliminated in the Europa League against Manchester United (5-4, 7-6 cumulative scores), must rebound immediately. The men of Paulo Fonseca, currently fourth with 51 points, target a place on the podium, behind OM (52 points) and Monaco (53 points). The 7 victories in 10 games testify to their ascending form, carried by a sparkling Rayan Cherki.
In contrast, Saint-Etienne (17e24 points) lives a galley season, barely returned from Ligue 2.. The Greens, penultimate, have won only two of their last fifteen games. Their defense is the most friable in the championship (67 goals conceded) behind Montpellier (66), which does not bode well against a confidence Lyon attack. Coach Eirik Horneland is faced with a huge challenge: winning this derby to still hope to hang the place of Barragist. While the Gones are orphans of their supporters, prohibited from traveling, ASSE could count on its twelfth man to bring down its great rival.
A one -way history
Since their first opposition in 1951 in Ligue 1, the two teams clashed 44 times in the elite. The toll is largely in favor of the Gones: 27 Lyon victories, against 9 for the Greens, and 8 draws. On the goals side, Lyon also dominates with 69 achievements against 42 for Saint-Etienne. The Sunday evening promises to be electric between two rivals.
