The remaining game is one of the most heated derbies in French football with the two clubs separated by just 60km.  Saint Etienne are in big trouble at the foot of the table, but showed spirit last week to draw 3-3 with Brest( unfortunately) and if this is likely to be their last derby for a while, they will treat it like a cup final. Most of their supporters, if not all, would have also enjoyed watching OL somehow lose 5-4 at Old Trafford in extra time last night when they led 4-2 with just minutes of the additional 30 remaining. Up to that point they had shown great bravery and had played 42 minutes and taken a two goal lead with 10 men. They must have felt broken and wiped out at the final whistle and even playing a derby today, it will take a titanic effort to get back up for this, but it does give an opportunity to erase those still raw memories and they need the win to ensure they stay in the Champions League positions. This is not traditionally a high scoring game, but OL have scored 13 goals on their last five visits and the visitors' last 7 starts have averaged 5.14 goals and six produced 4+ and with the hosts conceding 15 in their last four home starts (3+ in each) the call has to be .....

 

 

Good Luck!
