Olympique Lyonnais and AS Saint-Etienne face each other this Sunday evening in Ligue 1. A match that will be well watched by observers.
Olympique Lyonnais recently gave up their leadership position in the championship. Les Gones will therefore want to react in the derby against the Saint-Etienne enemy. The latter are in crisis and could not prepare for this match in the best possible way, deploring cases of Covid-19. If there is a winner in this meeting, the mark left on the loser could hurt, very badly. For Nabil Djellit, it is Claude Puel’s men who will have the greatest pressure.
“This transitional season can turn into a disaster season”
On the set of The Team Channel, the journalist has indeed given his opinion on this upcoming derby. “All the arguments on Lyon are admissible because both teams are playing big. But I would also like to talk about Saint-Etienne. Lyon, we talk about it enough. We know that this is a team that is a contender for the title. They had a reaction against Metz. But for Saint-Etienne, this transitional season can turn into a disaster season. Saint-Etienne, they are in the fight for maintenance. A defeat could put them one foot in the abyss ”, said Nabil Djellit, quite worried about the dynamics of the Greens if a reaction is not put into action very quickly.
