Very important face-off in the bottom part of the Ligue 1, with both Bordeaux and Saint-Étienne experiencing more tension than bliss. This fixture is a typical "six-pointer" with the team playing at home at 19th and the visitors in 17th place.
- Bordeaux have the most conceded goals (77) in Ligue 1
- Saint-Étienne have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.
It's no vacation for neither Bordeaux nor Saint-Étienne as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Bordeaux form and stats
Bordeaux's results here at Stade Matmut-Atlantique in the Ligue 1 have been very modest with 3 victories, 5 draws and 8 defeats.
No payout for Bordeaux in their previous match, an away game at Olympique Lyonnais that ended in defeat 1-6. Bordeaux were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one. Midfielder Guilavogui was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.11 (out of ten) in that game. Guilavogui hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 40 successful passes (of 50 total).
Before that game, the 3-1 home victory against Metz.This is expected to be a close game, with Bordeaux perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Bordeaux as a small favourite), we find eleven games. Bordeaux has won two of these, drawn three and lost six.
There will be little rest for Bordeaux after this match as they are travelling to Nantes for a Ligue 1 game in only four days.
Bordeaux has scored 23 league goals at home this season, in 16 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 30 goals have been conceded. Bordeaux has at home met teams with this table position (low), four times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 3 of 4 times.
Saint-Étienne form and stats
Saint-Étienne have only collected 12 points from their away games in the Ligue 1, after 3-3-9 (15 played).
Saint-Étienne go into this game after a win, the home game against Brest that ended 2-1. Attacker Bouanga got a player rating of 8.15 in the game. "Man of the match" Bouanga signed up for two assists, hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 3 of 6 times.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Lorient wasn't a success with a 2-6 loss.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Saint-Étienne playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were four Saint-Étienne wins, one draw and four defeats.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Monaco in just three days.
The attacking power of Saint-Étienne when travelling is not overwhelming with 13 goals scored from 15 league matches away.
