Saint-Étienne predicted XI v Marseille: Irvin Cardona starts, Augustine Boakye dropped | OneFootball

Eirik Horneland’s AS Saint-Étienne are searching for their first victory in five as they travel to the Stade Vélodrome to face an in-form Olympique de Marseille. Recent results have seen a three-point gap emerge between them and safety.

Last season’s hero, Irvin Cardona, is set to make his second start for the club after joining on loan in the winter transfer window. He will replace summer signing Augustine Boakye following last weekend’s 2-0 defeat to Stade Rennais.

The only other change that Horneland will likely make from the defeat to Rennes will be enforced. Right-back Dennis Appiah picked up an injury last weekend and will be absent for this match. His place on the teamsheet will be taken up by the flexible Léo Pétrot.

Saint-Étienne likely lineup vs Marseille

Gautier Larsonneur; Pierre Cornud, Mickael Nade, Dylan Batubinsika, Léo Pétrot; Benjamin Bouchouari, Pierre Ekwah, Louis Mouton; Zuriko Davitashvili, Lucas Stassin, Irvin Cardona. (L’Éq)
