St Etienne

DWLLLW

St Etienne, following on from their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after the 5-0 Ligue 2 triumph vs Amiens SC.

For St Etienne, the goals were scored by Joshua Duffus (7', 40'), Zuriko Davitashvili (69'), Lucas Stassin (82') and Aimen Moueffek (85').

It’s not been often in recent games where St Etienne have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. In fact, St Etienne have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, giving up 9 goals during that time. In any event, we’ll just have to find out whether such a trend will continue on in this match.

ℹ️ Team News: Rodez

Due to a mostly full-strength squad, there’s just a single fitness problem for the Rodez manager Didier Santini to contend with. Hermann Tebily (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be in action.

🔮 Prediction

In this match, Rodez will surely be able to score a goal against this St Etienne outfit, although that isn’t expected to be as many as they will have scored against them.

We can see a narrow 2-1 winning margin for St Etienne at the end of the match. Should be an interesting one.
