Saint-Etienne just got eliminated from the League Cup this mid-week, unexpectedly losing to Nancy, 0-1. As to their performance in the league, the team is currently eighth with 25 points taken in 17 matches. The visitors are only four points behind Lyon, who are currently on fourth place. The team isn’t that great in matches on the road, taking only nine points in eight matches with seven goals scored and nine allowed.
Saint-Etienne took wins in their recent five matches against Lorient with 7-0 on aggregate. Of course, it’s always tough to beat the team that need points the most, but we can expect Saint-Etienne to be closer to a victory in this match.
Prediction for the match: Saint-Etienne to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
