📊 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.

Pau FC

In that game, Pau FC managed 40% possession and 12 shots on goal with 6 of them on target.
