Saint-Étienne handed another prime-time slot for Montpellier clash | OneFootball

Saint-Étienne will return to a night-time spotlight at the Cauldron early February, with Montpellier the visitors in a fresh prime-time pick.

According to Le Progres, Eirik Horneland’s side continue to feature heavily on beIN Sports. Their three Coupe de France ties have all aired on the Qatari broadcaster, and they are regularly selected in the league.

After confirming the Coupe de France last 16 programme yesterday, with Montpellier set to face Nice on 4 February at 20:30, beIN Sports finalised scheduling for Ligue 2’s 22nd round.

ASSE’s meeting with the Hérault club is set for Saturday 7 February at 20:00 on beIN Sports 1. Against the visitors, the Verts face another historic Ligue 1 name and a direct rival for promotion.

One point off second, the automatic promotion berth, Saint-Étienne remain the division’s most reliable audience draw. A decisive month looms, featuring Clermont, Reims, Boulogne, Montpellier and Guingamp.

All the ingredients are in place for a compelling showcase.
