Saint-Étienne hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 28 points and a 16th position in the Ligue 1 table. Visiting Reims holds 8th place with 36 pts.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Saint-Étienne form and stats
Saint-Étienne have played 12 Ligue 1 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-4-4 (wins-draws-losses). Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Saint-Étienne with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Nîmes game, 28 days ago, have they avoided a loss.
In their previous game, the manager C. Puel led his Saint-Étienne to a defeat in the Ligue 1 match away at Brest. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard. In the game before, an away victory in the Coupe de France match versus Epinal with a 2-1 scoreline.
Saint-Étienne are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 12 games. On the other hand, Saint-Étienne have conceded 16 goals.
Reims form and stats
5-2-5 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Reims in their Ligue 1 matches away.

Reims are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 12 away goals from 12 games (in the league). 12 goals have been conceded by Reims in these games.
