Saint-Etienne returns to the height of its great rival, Olympique Lyonnais. The Greens, winners at Guingamp (1-0) thanks to a free kick goal of Khazri (7th), scored a second consecutive success in Ligue 1, Saturday night at the 20th day, which allows them to climb to the 4th square. The St Etienne are now tied with OL (33 pts), a week of a derby that promises to be explosive Geoffroy-Guichard. Meanwhile, Saint-Etienne and Lyon will play Wednesday late matches of the 17th day, the Greens against Marseille and the Gones in Toulouse.
For Guingamp, last with 11 points and who has not won at the Roudourou in the league this season, it is a stoppage after three wins in a row, including a feat at the Parc des Princes against PSG (2-1 ) in the League Cup on Wednesday.
A little balm to the heart for Nice. OGC Nice also achieved a great deal by beating Bordeaux (1-0), after six games without winning and the day after the surprise resignation of President Jean-Pierre Rivère and General Manager Julien Fournier. The Aiglons took advantage of a penalty converted by Saint-Maximin early in the game (16th) to climb temporarily to 6th place (29 pts), four points off the podium.
