Former Lyon manager Alain Perrin takes his struggling St.Etienne side to Stade Gerland this Sunday to take on Olympique Lyon in the Rhône derby. Watch the best French Ligue 1 action from the comfort of your computer with the Live Sport Network, leaders in online football streaming.

Lyon beat Marseille 1-0 in their midweek Coupe de France tie, with Karim Benzema netting the winner. Benzema’s goal was crucial because it came after a gap of three games. And when Benzema is on song, OL are normally unstoppable.

 

 

Lyon currently lead Ligue 1 by one point, but a stutter this weekend against St.Etienne could see them surrender their lead to Laurent Blanc’s Bordeaux. Lyon have an excellent record in recent games against St.Etienne. OL last lost a game to St.Etienne way back in 1994, and have won eight of the last nine games between these two teams at Stade Gerland.

St.Etienne, who finished fifth last season, are flirting dangerously with relegation this year. Les Verts are only three points above the drop zone, and their poor goal difference of minus 14 could see them fall into it should they lose their game and Sochaux win theirs.

 

 

St.Etienne’s most recent game was in the Coupe de France, where they lost 2-0 to Rennes. Prior to that, they had drawn 1-1 with Le Mans. Les Verts will also be without skipper Loic Perrin, who is struggling with a hamstring problem. Sylvain Monsoreau, David Sauget and Amine Linganzi are also injured. St.Etienne are the worst travellers in Ligue 1, having picked up only four points from ten away games.

Can Alain Perrin get a favourable result against his former club? Or will Les Gones have it easy again? Catch Olympique Lyon vs St Etienne live to find out the result. It is one of the French league’s marquee fixtures, and you shouldn’t miss it at any cost.
