  • 9' Aimen Moueffek is replacing Mathieu Debuchy for the AS Saint-Etienne side.
  • 14' The travelling AS Saint-Étienne supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 19' Olympique de Marseille have won 515 goals from 465 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 21' That is a Yellow card for AS Saint-Etienne. Yvann Macon will be fuming at that decision.

  • 46' Arnaud Nordin has so much to prove this time. He replaces Adil Aouchiche on 46 minute.

  • 58' Another change for AS Saint-Etienne made on 58 minute. Romain Hamouma leaves to be changed by Zaydou Youssouf.
