AS Saint-Étienne — GW 7 · 21–24 Aug

Matchday 3 and a second consecutive derby with Grenoble coming to visit. Les Verts are eyeing a third straight win after an ideal start to the season! Despite the 2 victories with 3 goals each time, everything wasn't perfect and they'll need to be serious against an opponent who knows how to be solid at the back, as shown by the 0-0 draw against Metz at home last week. The lineup could change. Ferreira came off on concussion protocol against Clermont and is officially out. Bernauer will likely take his place on the wing while Svetlin becomes a starter in midfield defense. Up front Stassin has his head elsewhere (Strasbourg?) and shouldn't play or maybe just come off the bench. For Davitashvili it's a bit different and he could challenge Boakyé!
