Saint-Étienne form and stats

Saint-Étienne have collected 17 points from their Ligue 1 home games so far after 4-5-4.

The Saint-Étienne supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Rennes in Coupe de France and win 2-1. A Ligue 1 defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Olympique Lyonnais.

The victory against Rennes came after Ryad Boudebouz's winning goal. The Saint-Étienne manager C. Puel was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 83rd minute. A late climax in the match against Rennes as the winning goal came four minutes into overtime; scored by Ryad Boudebouz.

This is expected to be a close game, with Saint-Étienne perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Saint-Étienne as a small favourite), we find six games. Saint-Étienne has won one of these, drawn four and lost one.
