St Etienne

WDWDWL

St Etienne will be looking for an improved result here after the 2-0 Ligue 2 losing effort in their last game against SC Bastia.

Alexandre Zaouai (1') and Joachim Eickmayer (71') scored for SC Bastia.

Their most recent results highlight the fact that quality has been evident in the St Etienne rearguard. St Etienne have given the opposition little, with the tally of goals that have flown into the back of their net during their past 6 clashes standing at 4. Historical results aside, it remains to be seen whether the trend will be sustained here in this game.

Leading up to this clash, St Etienne:

• are unbeaten in the league by ESTAC in their previous 6 matches.
• are undefeated in their last 5 home league matches.

ESTAC

ESTAC will go into this clash following a 1-0 Ligue 2 win to defeat US Boulogne CO in their previous match.

The only player to score from ESTAC was Tawfik Bentayeb (46').

ESTAC have attacked well leading up to this encounter, having scored 13 times in their previous 6 matches. While their manager Stéphane Dumont will no doubt take that as a positive sign, ESTAC have had their own issues at the back, also conceding in 5 of those same matches.

Leading up to this clash, ESTAC:

• haven't beaten St Etienne in games played away from home for the previous 7 league games. They really have not been travelling well at all.
• haven’t won away from home in the past 2 league games.

🤜🤛 Head to head

The match was refereed by Mathieu Vernice.

⚡ Prediction

We’re thinking that ESTAC have the capability to put one past this St Etienne side, however that realistically won’t be enough to prevent defeat.

We’re tipping both teams to score in a 2-1 advantage for St Etienne by the time that the referee blows the final whistle. Hopefully this is a good one.
