Gent will be quite okay with a draw in the upcoming match. If it gets such a result, it will become inaccessible for Saint-Etienne, and the last round will turn for the Belgians into a simple formality. But just try to gain this draw in France. Gent turned out to be more fortunate at home, having beaten the Greens in a goal shootout (3-2). It will be much more difficult away.
The French need a victory because any other outcome probably closes the door to the playoffs. The Germans will probably win in Ukraine. That means Saint-Etienne has no choice but to attack. And the team will do it and manage to score. Gent is a so-so team in terms of defense. Saint-Etienne scored two goals in Belgium, and Wolfsburg scored Gent two goals away and one at home. Even Oleksandriya scored it. As for the local championship, Gent conceded 20 goals in 16 matches. And this is the 3rd team in the standings of the Belgian championship. St. Etienne will score it again. And since it is not even advisable for the Belgians to lose, in spite of their leading positions, they will certainly not sit on the defensive but will try to attack. In this situation, it will not be safe for their net. Therefore, the French are unlikely to stop on one goal, realizing that it may not be enough for victory. So it turns out that the goal of Saint Etienne is a perfect option for the bet. Such an outcome will not lose at least.
Prediction for the match: Saint-Etienne to score over 1.0 goal
