Three days after the previous day, the Ligue 1 clubs continue on Saturday with the 17th day of Ligue 1. In the opening match (5 p.m.), Marseille, author of a good operation by seizing second place on Wednesday thanks to his victory over Nantes, welcomes Brest (11th).
Then, it’s time for the duel between Lille and Troyes (7 p.m.). Le Losc (12th) has recovered thanks to its success against Rennes but must confirm to get out of the second part of the standings. The evening of Saturday ends with the expected match between Paris, still leader but in doubt after its draw against Nice, and Lens.
Paris SG fans will not be able to accompany their team because of a “real and serious risk of confrontation between the supporters of the two clubs“, according to a decree of the Ministry of the Interior published Friday in the Official Journal.
Sunday, the red lantern Saint-Etienne will try to extricate itself from its very bad patch by receiving Rennes, third in the standings. Nice welcomes Strasbourg, a duel between the fourth and the sixth. Strasbourg made a strong impression on Wednesday by beating Bordeaux (5-2). The Girondins (18th) must absolutely straighten the bar against Lyon (10th) after a series of disastrous matches. Worst defense in Ligue 1, their state of form fears the worst for next season.
