Season ticket holders at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Saint-Étienne languishing in the 17th position so far. The guesting Strasbourg will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
Saint-Étienne form and stats
Saint-Étienne have played 13 Ligue 1 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-5-4 (wins-draws-losses).
Saint-Étienne's last game was hosting Rennes (placed 3rd) and winning 2-1. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Olympique Lyonnais (0-2).
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of C. Puel when Ryad Boudebouz scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 83rd minute. Some amazing scenes last match, when Ryad Boudebouz scored the winning goal four minutes into stoppage time.
Saint-Étienne are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 14 goals in 13 games. On the other hand, Saint-Étienne have conceded 17 goals.
Strasbourg form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Strasbourg so far with only 14 points returning home. The records show 4-2-8 (win-draw-lose).

Strasbourg are travelling again after losing away to Montpellier in their previous match (0-3). Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Amiens SC.
Strasbourg goalkeeper Matz Sels had a great day against Montpellier, but despite making eight saves the loss could not be avoided.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Strasbourg as they have only managed to score 10 times from 14 away games in the league. 18 goals have been conceded by Strasbourg in these games.
