Line Up Saint-Etienne vs Lyon Preview-Prediction Starting Eleven

The Starting Saint-Etienne vs Lyon Line Up Preview.
This is the preview and starting eleven prediction of Saint-Etienne vs Lyon starting line up match. Despite crashing out of the Coupe de France courtesy of an embarrassing 0-2 defeat at the hands of Ligue 2 side Clermont Foot, and ignominiously losing 2-1 to relegation-threatened Lens, AS Saint-Etienne have in recent weeks restored their confidence with back-to-back wins against Toulouse and Montpellier. Currently fourth in the table, only two points behind second-placed Paris Saint-Germain, Saturday’s encounter presents les Verts with an excellent opportunity to firmly entrench themselves in the upper echelons of Ligue 1.

Saint-Etienne
Les Verts have few injury concerns, with only Yoann Andreu and Albin Ebondo sidelined. It is expected that Christophe Galtier will recall Dimitri Payet to the first-team following his spell in the reserves.

Olympique Lyonnais
Likewise, Lyon manager Claude Puel will be relieved to have a relatively abundant squad at his disposal after the selection headaches he has faced earlier in the season. Clement Grenier and Ederson remain unavailable, since although the latter resumed training this week, it is unlikely he will return to first-team action in the immediate future.
