Ligue 1 is back after the European break. The 5th day is the opportunity for PSG to consolidate its first place before an “Olympico” as tense as expected in Lyon at the end.
The 5th day of Ligue 1 begins this Friday, September 20, with Nice’s trip to Saint-Étienne (at 8:45 p.m.) to open the festivities and with a real need to get going for both teams, stuck in the second half of the standings. The Niçois, struggling since the start of the season (only one win for a draw and two defeats), travel to the Greens who are also struggling for their big return to the elite (3 defeats and a victory that felt good against Lille last week).
On Saturday, the programme will be followed by the enticing Lille-Strasbourg and Rennes Stadium-Lens before PSG travel to Reims in the evening (9pm), for a tricky match: while Paris has not made any sparks in the Champions League (with a narrow victory against Girona on a huge mistake by the opposing goalkeeper), the Rémois, under the direction of Luka Elsner, aim to continue their good streak after having chained two consecutive victories against Rennes and Nantes. The fact remains that the Parisians continue to shine in Ligue 1, with a flawless record at this stage under the aegis of Luis Enrique.
Sunday, the day begins with three matches at 5 p.m.: Angers-Nantes, Brest-Toulouse and Montpellier-Auxerre. The day will also be marked by a derby between Angers and Nantes. Monaco, who shone against Barça this Thursday in the Champions League, will face Le Havre at 3 p.m., before the end of this 5th day with the clash between Olympique Lyonnais and Olympique de Marseille, scheduled for 9 p.m. at the Groupama Stadium. The “Olympico”, one of the most anticipated matches of the weekend, will pit two teams against each other in search of points to relaunch their season. Note that the match will be as tense as it is expected, since the supporters of theOM are banned from traveling, with the Interior Ministry citing a “real and serious risk of clashes between supporters of the two clubs.” Marseille will also have to do without its new star Adrien Rabiot, who will have to go through a fitness period before returning to the field.
