Saint-Étienne form and stats

Saint-Étienne's struggle is real here at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard with only 4 points collected from 6 Ligue 1 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 0-4-2. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in twelve attempts.

Saint-Étienne manager C. Puel and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Metz (placed 19th) in the Ligue 1. Wahbi Khazri, a forward, was the best performer for the team in that game, scoring a rating of 7.83 (out of 10). Khazri scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

Before that, Saint-Étienne drew at home versus Angers SCO.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Saint-Étienne have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won two, drawn five and lost two.

The Saint-Étienne fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 6 in 6 matches. Saint-Étienne have conceded 10 from these games.

Clermont form and stats

Clermont have only collected 5 points from their away games in the Ligue 1, after 1-2-3 (6 played).

Midfield player Salis Abdul Samed was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.15/10. Samed hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 52 successful passes (of 55 total).

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Nantes wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
