From their prior six matches before this one, in as many as 5 of them a bet on both teams scoring would have lost.

St Etienne

DWDDDL

Following on from being defeated in their last game at the hands of Reims in Ligue 1 action, St Etienne will be hoping to turn things around here.

In that match, St Etienne had 66% possession and 14 shots on goal with 6 of them on target. The only player to score for St Etienne was Charles Abi (72'). For their opponents, Stade de Reims got 7 shots on goal with 3 on target. Boulaye Dia (12', 37') and Mathieu Cafaro (58') scored for Reims.

The numbers tell their own story, and St Etienne have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, conceding 9 goals in total. At the back, Les Verts certainly have room for improvement. That kind of trend isn’t assured to be continued into this game, though.

Taking a look at their past results, St Etienne:

• have not won against Strasbourg when having played them away from home in the previous 2 league games.
• haven’t won away from home in the past 2 matches in the league.

💭 Prediction

When taking everything into account, St Etienne could find themselves up against it to breach the defence of this Strasbourg outfit who we think might well get the win and a maybe even keep a clean sheet as well.

We therefore see a very competitive game with a 1-0 winning score for Strasbourg at the end of this one.

Little in this one.
