Team News

Saint-Etienne
Auxerre
  • Ibrahima Wadji has gone to Clairefontaine for three weeks for his recovery.
  • Anthony Briançon will undergo a minor knee procedure.
  • Recovery is progressing well for Yvann Maçon, Thomas Monconduit, and Pierre Cornud.
  • Ben Old has suffered a groin injury and is unlikely to feature against Auxerre.
  • Christophe Pélissier's side posses a full squad, apart from "long-term injuries" to Ousmane Camera, Gideon Mensah, and Lasso Caoulibaly - the manager revealed in his pre-match press conference
  • Lassine Sinayoko has been preferred to Théo Bair and Ado Onaiwu up front lately.

Prediction

  • It's a huge battle between the two promoted sides at the bottom of the table, and one that could even prove fatal for Sainté manager Olivier Dall'Oglio.
  • Les Verts will be hoping to leverage home advantage against Auxerre, but a home side have failed to win any of the last 6 meetings between promoted sides in Ligue 1 (3 draws, 3 defeats), scoring just one goal in the process and conceding 10.
  • A draw between the two is likely, and would suit both parties who just want to stop the rot in Ligue 1 at the moment.
