Season ticket holders at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Saint-Étienne languishing in the 15th position so far. The guesting Reims will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
- Reims have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
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!
Saint-Étienne form and stats
Saint-Étienne have played 12 Ligue 1 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-5-4 (wins-draws-losses).
Nothing to worry about in defence for Saint-Étienne, as their goalkeeper Jessy Moulin has completely shut out the opponents for 234 minutes in the Ligue 1.
It's back home for Saint-Étienne, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Rennes away with the result 2-0. Arnaud Nordin and Denis Bouanga found the net in that victory. Prior to that, an away loss at Sochaux in the Coupe de France.
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 ten games. Saint-Étienne has won three of these, drawn five and lost two.
Saint-Étienne aren't scoring a lot here at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard in the league, with only 11 goals from 12 games. On the other hand, Saint-Étienne have conceded 17 goals.
Reims form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Reims so far with only 13 points returning home. The records show 3-4-6 (win-draw-lose).
There were no winners in Reims's previous match, a Ligue 1 home game that ended 1-1 vs Lens (placed 6th). Preceding that, the 3-4 home loss versus Valenciennes.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found twelve similar matches played by Reims in our archives, and the results are: five wins for Reims, four draws and three defeats.
The travelling fans enjoy Reims's attacking play in away games, having scored 20 goals in 13 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Reims have conceded 21 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
