Saint-Étienne form and stats
Saint-Étienne have played three Ligue 1 home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 2 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Saint-Étienne with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Lille game, 34 days ago, have they avoided a loss.
Saint-Étienne are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-3 away versus Monaco. Saint-Étienne could not believe their lack of luck in the Monaco match, as they hit the posts three times in the 1-3 defeat. Denis Bouanga (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.65/10. Bouanga scored one goal, hit the woodwork two (!) times, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.
Preceding that match was a defeat to Bordeaux (1-2).The Saint-Étienne fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 3 in 3 matches. Saint-Étienne have conceded 4 in these home matches.
Nice form and stats
Nice have six points from their first three away games in the Ligue 1, meaning two victories and a loss.
Two away games in a row for Nice, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-1 versus Lorient in the Ligue 1. Attacker Calvin Stengs got a player rating of 7.45 in the game. "Man of the match" Stengs hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 4 times and had 24 successful passes (of 29 total).
Preceding that match was the 2-2 draw at home vs Monaco.Nice have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 6 goals from 3 away matches. Nice's manager C. Galtier has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 1 conceded goal.
