AS Saint-Etienne : Lens: The probable line-ups and where to watch this Ligue 1 match | ASSE News

This Wednesday (19h), Saint-Etienne receives Lens as part of the 28th day of Ligue 1. The Greens, who remain on a frustrating defeat against Lorient, will want to win to give themselves a little air with the zone of relegation.

The objective is simple for Saint-Etienne: To win! Claude Puel’s team is only five lengths ahead of Nîmes, the first non-relegation player, and must therefore win against Lens to tackle the next few weeks more calmly.

But against them, it’s not just any team! It is RC Lens, which is certainly promoted in Ligue 1, but which is having an extraordinary season which currently allows it to fight for a qualification in the Europa League at the end of the season. The meeting therefore promises to be hotly contested!

For this meeting, Claude Puel will have to do without four injured players. they are Romain Hamouma, Wahbi Khazri (thigh), Alpha Sissoko and Yvann Maçon (knee). Note that for a long time on the flank due to a thigh injury, Panagliotis Retsos should make his return to the squad.

On the Lens side, Franck Haise will not be able to count on Cheick Doucouré who is suspended for this match. But good news for the Lensois coach, Ganago, back in training this week, should be fit to play.
