"Holy in search of victory in Strasbourg after a controlled derby"

After winning the derby, AS Saint-Étienne moved to Strasbourg for the 31st day of Ligue 1. This is the likely composition of the Greens to confront the Alsatians. The Stéphanois players were able to meet the expectations of the fans during the 126th derby of history, winning 2-1 thanks to a controlled match. A performance that they will have to repeat four times to hope to double their direct competitors and stay in the elite.

Eirik Horneland recovers Yvann Mason this Saturday, after his suspension following an accumulation of yellow cards that had removed him from the derby. Anthony Briançon also made his return to the Stéphanois band, taking the place of Dylan Batubinsika this Saturday. Augustine Boakye and Benjamin Bouchouari still remain a package. If the former is absent until the end of the season, it seems that the same sentence is applied to Moroccans.

Irvin Cardona and Lucas Stassin returned to collective training last Thursday, despite their injuries to the adductors and thigh respectively. Both offensives are present in the group for this 31st day of Ligue 1. Pierre Cornud is still a package after taking a hit this week.

Gautier Larsonneur will once again be the Stéphanois doorman for this meeting, without having been too much solicited against OL. The central hinge should be composed of the same players as during the derby, Maxime Bernauer and Mickaël Nadé, who delivered a solid performance against the opposing attackers.

Yvann Mason should find a place in the starting eleven instead of Dennis Appiah, after purging his suspension. Léo Pérot, meanwhile, should follow a 26th consecutive tenure in Ligue 1 at the left side. Pierre Ekwah, who could have scored an exceptional goal during the derby, should once again be a low point holder of the Stéphanois environment.

Florian Tardieu and Aïmen Moueffek assured in the absence of Benjamin Bouchouri during the match against OL. They should therefore be aligned again, given the likely end of the season of the bronze medallist of the Olympics 2024. Zuriko Davitashvili should know his 29th tenure of the season in Ligue 1 on the left corridor.

Eirik Horneland plans to align Irvin Cardona and Lucas Stassin, although they are uncertain. The former Brestois should start on the bench for the benefit of Ben Old, touched by adductors. New Zealander should therefore have his first tenure since
