Greens who want to be solid. Claude Puel has decided to align a defense to four, with Miguel Trauco and Franck Honorat in the middle, for the derby between OL and ASSE this Sunday evening at Groupama Stadium (9 p.m.), as part of the 27th day of League 1.
The Saint-Etienne coach therefore established Wesley Fofana and William Saliba in defense, with Mathieu Debuchy and Timothée Kolodziejczak in the corridors.
Saint-Etienne needs points
French internationals Yann M’Vila and Yohan Cabaye are associated with the midfielder, with Miguel Trauco on the left and Franck Honorat on the right. In attack, the Gabonese Denis Bouanga is supported by Lois Diony. Algerian Ryad Boudebouz is on the bench, notably with Gabriel Silva.
Deprived of victory in Ligue 1 for five games (the last on January 25), the Stéphanois are 16th with only two points ahead of the 18th and barragiste, Nîmes.
