It is a Rhône-Alpes derby with a particular flavor which is held at the Groupama Stadium in Lyon on Friday at 9 p.m. If this classic of the Ligue 1 championship confronted two teams at the top of the table a few years ago, this year it opposes the 11th to the 20th in the classification. The two rivals, who had a very disappointing first half of the season, will be keen to win this meeting in order to relaunch themselves in the league for Lyon, and keep the hope of maintaining themselves for Saint-Etienne.

The Lyonnais, led by the Brazilian Lucas Paqueta, can still dream of European qualification. Only five points from fifth place, Peter Bosz’s players must not let a single point slip away.

On the side of the Stéphanois, the maintenance mission is engaged. Five points behind the first non-relegation player, ASSE had a promising match last Saturday against Lens, despite a defeat in the last moments.
