📊 Form Guide
St Etienne
WDWWLL
St Etienne will be looking to improve on their last outing here following the 5-2 Ligue 2 loss in their previous game against AJ Auxerre.
In that game, St Etienne had 55% possession and 14 attempts on goal with 8 of them on target. For St Etienne, goals were scored by Mathieu Cafaro (31') and Mahmoud Bentayg (80'). Auxerre had 14 attempts at goal with 7 of them on target. Ado Onaiwu (3', 36', 66'), Gaëtan Perrin (21') and Lassine Sinayoko (82') scored for AJ Auxerre.
A common feature of recent St Etienne games is the high number of scores with a nil in them.
From their prior six matches before this one, in as many as 5 of them a wager on BTTS would've been a loser. Such a trend won’t necessarily be sustained here, of course.
