St. Etienne hosts Paris Saint-Germain in round 15 of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Sunday, November 28th at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard (Saint-Étienne)
In the last round, Saint-Etienne won the second consecutive victory in the French championship. The club managed to beat Troyes away (0-1). Claude Puel's charges are still in the relegation zone, but now they have a chance to maintain their place in the elite. St. Etienne climbed to 19th place with 12 points. The gap to the saving 17th position is one point. The club does not score very much — only 16 goals. Only Troyes and Reims scored less in Ligue 1. In addition, the Greens have a very mediocre defensive line, which allowed their opponents to score 28 times. Only Bordeaux and Metz conceded more. St. Etienne earned seven points in seven home matches (one victory, four draws, and two defeats with a goal difference of 9-12). Six games ended with an exchange of goals scored.

PSG under the management of Pochettino has certain difficulties with gaining victories in Ligue 1. For example, in the last round, the Parisians were stronger than Nantes at home (3-1). But that victory was gained thanks to the individual actions of the players, not the team ones. Nevertheless, Messi & Co feel quite confident on the 1st line in the standings of the French championship. They have 37 points in their assets. The gap from the 2nd position is 11 points. PSG scored 32 goals and conceded 14 times in 14 matches. On average, 3.5 goals are scored in one match with their participation. In seven away games, the Parisians gained five victories and one draw and suffered one defeat (with a goal difference of 13-8). In general, the Red-Blues suffered only one defeat in the last 15 away games.
In the last 16 head-to-head matches in Ligue 1, the following results were recorded: 11 victories of PSG and five draws. The Parisians did not score more than two goals in 17 out of 19 last games at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard. Yes, St. Etienne started to gain momentum (two victories in the last two Ligue 1 matches). But you need to understand that they beat Clermont and Troyes. Now their opponent will be of a completely different level. I am sure that Puel's charges will be able to compete with the Parisians. But I don't believe that the hosts will earn three points. Even if PSG does not find its best game again, there are such performers as Mbappe, Di Maria, Neymar, and Messi, who can score out of the blue. I think we will see a rather productive game.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
