On Sun Dec 19th, Lyon Duchère will play host to Saint-Étienne in a clash of the Coupe de France. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cold day, and temperatures reaching a maximum of only 1 degrees, which will make playing unpleasant. Lyon Duchère has not played yet this season, while saint-Étienne is fresh off their 0-2 loss against Reims. El Toure scored the first goal for Reims in the 23rd minute from the penalty spot, then Nathanael Mbuku added another in the 89th minute In the end, Saint-Étienne couldn’t muster any offence and Reims ran away with the shutout win. Saint-Étienne looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 5 of their last 10.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season.
Miguel Trauco and Denis Bouanga are the top scorers for Saint-Étienne in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
