The RC Lens and the ASSE – AS Saint-Etienne have been two very close friends for many years. The fervor reigning in Bollaert-Delelis stadium and at Geoffroy-Guichard stadium is no longer to prove. First of all, on the occasion of the 23rd day of Ligue 2, the RC Lens hosted Tuesday evening the ESTAC Troyes at Bollaert Delelis stadium of Lens. The Blood and Gold of Philippe Montanier won with the lowest score (1-0) thanks to a goal of Corentin Jean (3 games, 2 goals).
Defeated yesterday at Geoffroy Guichard facing the OM – Marseille Olympics (0-2, 23rd day of League 1) on goals of Dimitri Payet, former player of green of St Etienne, and Nemanja Radonjic, the AS Saint-Etienne sinks a little more at the bottom of the classification of the L1. With four league defeats in the last five games, the ASSE of Claude Puel is clearly in crisis. In fact, green of Claude Puel point to 15th place in the ranking of L1 and are now relegated to 12 points from 3rd place at Stade Rennais and 9 points from LOSC, 4th in the championship.
