On behalf of the 23e Ligue 1 day, Saint-Etienne welcomes FC Nantes to the Chaudron in a 100% low-end game. The two teams will aim to give themselves a breath of fresh air in the red zone. Discover, without delay, the probable lines and the absent ones!
On paper, the poster is enticing and reminds one of the great classics of the Ligue 1 championship. But this season, Saint-Etienne and Nantes are far from their past glories. Respectively 16e and 17e Ligue 1, the two teams need, more than ever, to glean valuable points.
To do so, Claude Puel will be able to count on the feedback of the precious Wahbi Khazri and the young Sissoko. A winter rookie for the Greens, Olympiakos center-back Cissé may well take his first steps in the Cauldron tonight. On the other hand, Gabriel Silva, Retsos, the experienced Boudebouz and the important Mason are missing.
On the Canaries side, promising Pereira de Sa and ex-Parisian Augustin are still not attacking. In addition, midfielder Abeid left the club at the end of the week and Roc Pallois was suspended.
Here are the probable lines of this Saint-Etienne-Nantes:
Saint Etienne : Moulin – Debuchy, Moukoudi, Cissé, Kolodziejczak – Nordin, Camara, Neyou, Aouchiche – Abi, Hamouma.
Nantes: Lafont – Corchia, Girotto, Castelleto, Traoré – Touré, Chirivella – Coco, Louza, Simon – Kolo Muani.
