Struggling Saint-Étienne will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Lille in the upcoming league round. It’s 16th vs 2nd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
- Saint-Étienne is in the worst form (0-0-6)
- Lille have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Europa League.
Saint-Étienne form and stats
Saint-Étienne have collected 6 points from their Ligue 1 home games so far after 2-0-3. There's also a terrible streak running regardless of playing venue as Saint-Étienne have lost seven games in a row. Game days at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Saint-Étienne as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.
No payout for Saint-Étienne in their previous match, an away game at Brest that ended in defeat 1-4. Preceding that match was a defeat to Montpellier (0-1).
The game against Brest was basically lost in the first half (1-4) and the second half was more of a formality.
The Saint-Étienne fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 5 in 5 matches. On the other hand, Saint-Étienne have conceded 7 goals.
Lille form and stats
2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. That’s the product of Lille playing as the away team in the Ligue 1 this season.
Lille's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Milan that finished 0-0. Prior to that match, a home win 4-0 against Lorient in the Ligue 1.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Sparta Praha in just four days.
Lille has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 8 goals from 5 games. Lille have conceded 5 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Saint-Étienne, one draw and six wins for Lille. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.Top Goalscorers
