St Etienne

DLDWLL

St Etienne will be hoping to bounce back here following the 1-0 Ligue 1 defeat in their last game at the hands of RC Lens.

Fixtures with St Etienne have usually been engaging affairs of late with plenty of scoring being a common characteristic. Over their past 6 games alone, the sum of 22 goals have been scored for both sides combined (at an average of 3.67 goals per game) with 8 of them accredited to St Etienne. That aside, it remains to be seen whether that trend will be maintained in this game.

Going into this one, St Etienne are without a home win in the past 5 league games. Fans are getting restless.

Brest

LLWDWW

Brest come into this encounter following on from a 2-1 Ligue 1 win over Monaco in their previous match.

In the course of their six previous matches, Éric Roy's Brest have seen their goal attempts be successful 11 times - giving them the goals per game average of 1.83.

🤜🤛 Head to head

Checking on their past head-to-head clashes dating back to 16/02/2020 shows that St Etienne have won 1 of these games & Brest 5, with the number of drawn matches standing at 0.

21 goals were produced between them in this period, with 6 from Les Verts and 15 created by Les Ty' Zefs. That is an average goals per game value of 3.5.

ℹ️ Team News: St Etienne

It seems likely that Les Verts should use a 4-3-3 system this time with Gautier Larsonneur, Yvann Macon, Maxime Bernauer, Mickael Nade, Leo Petrot, Benjamin Bouchouari, Pierre Ekwah, Florian Tardieu, Irvin Cardona, Lucas Stassin and Zuriko Davitashvili.

🗞️ Team News: Brest

Brest boss Éric Roy has to choose a team with limited availability. Jonas Martin (Hip injury), Soumaïla Coulibaly (Adductor pain), Bradley Locko (Achilles tendon rupture), Ibrahim Salah (Foot injury) and Justin Bourgault (Toe injury) can’t be considered.

We reckon that Les Ty' Zefs might begin the game with a 4-3-3 formation, settling for Marco Bizot, Kenny Lala, Brendan Chardonnet, Abdoulaye N'Diaye, Massadio Haidara, Mahdi Camara, Pierre Lees-Melou, Hugo Magnetti, Mathias Pereira-Lage, Ludovic Ajorque and Abdallah Sima.

🔮 Prediction

We think that St Etienne could find themselves up against it to be putting a goal past this Brest outfit who we think might end up scoring and staying ahead.

We’re therefore anticipating a highly competitive game with a 0-1 victory for Brest at the conclusion of the game.

Hoping for a good game.
