Saint-Étienne form and stats

2-2-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Ligue 2 numbers at home for Saint-Étienne so far this season.

Saint-Étienne lost their last game at Sochaux (placed 4th) after a 1-2 scoreline. Midfield player Lobry got a match rating of 7.81 in that game, the max score being 10. Lobry hit the woodwork once and hit one key pass.

In the match before that, Saint-Étienne hosted Grenoble Foot 38 and drew the game 2-2.

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 9 games. Saint-Étienne has won 6 of these, drawn 1 and lost 2.

Lots of goals? Who knows what will happen in this one, but we do know that 9 of the 11 most recent league matches with this side has seen three or more goals.

Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 9 goals have been conceded.

Paris form and stats

Playing away, Paris have won 2 games, drawn 3 and suffered 1 defeat in the Ligue 2 this season. Paris has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.

Paris might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Valenciennes proved too strong as Paris slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Stade Sébastien-Charléty. Mandouki got a match rating of 7.64 in that game, top player of the team. Mandouki hit one key pass and had 42 successful passes (of 51 total).

Preceding that game was the away victory against Nimes with the score of 1-0.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 12 similar matches played by Paris in our archives, and the results are: 4 wins for Paris, 5 draws and 3 defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Paris as they have only managed to score 5 times from 6 away games in the league. Paris are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 4 times in 6 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
