AS Saint-Etienne : the Lyon composition with feedback from Traoré and Terrier | ASSE News

It is always a special meeting, even when the two teams do not play the leading roles in the league: OL receives Saint-Etienne this Sunday (9 p.m.), at the end of the 27th day of Ligue 1. A 120th derby as often under tension, which will be played without Stéphanois supporters, banned from traveling.

Ninth in the championship, Rudi Garcia’s team arrives with the intention of continuing to get closer to European places. Before his feat against Juve (1-0) in the knockout stages of the Champions League, Lyon remained on a victory in Metz (2-0). For the Greens, the situation is delicate with a 16th place and internal tensions, especially around Stéphane Ruffier.

Four-man defense for OL, Cornet absent

Always dismissed by Claude Puel, the goalkeeper gives up his place in the cages to Jessy Moulin. Lois Diony is aligned from the start, completing an offensive quartet composed of Franck Honorat and Denis Bouanga. The technician opts for a defense of five.

In the Lyon ranks, unlike what he had done to Juve, Rudi Garcia started again on a defense with four. Joachim Andersen is still on the bench, it is the Marcelo-Denayer hinge that begins. Houssem Aouar is associated with Bruno Guimaraes and Lucas Tousart in the middle. Martin Terrier and Bertrand Traoré are back as starters, to support Moussa Dembélé in attack. Maxwel Cornet was hit on an ankle against Juve and was not on the score sheet.
