With their 2 point advantage in the league table, Brest fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Saint-Étienne.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
It's quite the trip for Saint-Étienne when visiting Brest as the cities are 900 kilometers apart.
Brest form and stats
3-0-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Ligue 1 numbers at home for Brest, who have the most conceded goals (22) in Ligue 1, so far this season.
A nice win for Brest last time playing, versus Lille. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-2 with Ronaël Pierre-Gabriel, Irvin Cardona and Romain Perraud scoring for the victors. Heartbreak before that as Brest lost 1-2 at Rennes's place.
The Brest fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 9 goals in 5 league matches. Brest have conceded 10 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Saint-Étienne form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Ligue 1 travels is 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats. It's looking increasingly bleak for Saint-Étienne who now has to deal with a six game losing streak. Nantes was the last time a defeat was avoided. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Saint-Étienne's last three away games as they have all been lost.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Saint-Étienne, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-2 versus Olympique Lyonnais (placed 5th). The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Montpellier.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Saint-Étienne have scored 5 goals in 5 league games away. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Saint-Étienne have conceded 8 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
