This weekend, AS Saint-Étienne will host the Monaco team for its penultimate home game of the season. This 32nd day meeting could be the last of the Greens in a full Geoffroy Guichard stadium this season. The stadium continues to fill well for the reception of the Monegasque club. During the last derby, the fans experienced an unforgettable moment of happiness thanks to the ASSE’s victory over the 3-0 score. The Stéphanois were carried by the energy of the 40,000 spectators present at the stadium and the 7,000 who attended the training the day before. A performance that will have to be repeated this Saturday against Monaco, which aims to finish on the podium. However, the Monegasques showed their flaws in their last match against Le Havre (match 1-1) and in Montpellier (defeat 2-1). The Greens will therefore have the opportunity to put pressure on their direct competitors by imposing themselves against the players of the principality.

During the derby, two individuals were guilty of throwing parts on the lawn, one of them touching the assistant referee shortly before half-time. This incident resulted in the interruption of the meeting for more than 40 minutes. The two individuals have since been identified and will be tried in the fall by the PSL Discipline Commission. In addition to these acts, the committee will also decide on the use of pyrotechnic devices during the meeting with OL. If the two Stéphanese kops are already under the threat of a stay, they could be punished again. The league’s decision is expected on Wednesday, May 7.

By then, more than 31,000 tickets have already been sold for the meeting against Monaco on Saturday night (21:05 pm). The club still hopes to sell several thousand tickets for this crucial meeting that could determine the fate of ASSE in this turbulent season.
