St Etienne – Strasbourg Prediction & Preview and Betting Tips (24.11.2017)

St-Etienne-Ligue-1

Saint-Étienne and Strasbourg meet at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard, in a match for the 14 th round of League 1. There is only one record of 1 direct match in the last 3 years between these two teams, on 10-25-2017, which ended with the victory of Strasbourg by (5-4), in the shoot-off on penalties. Particular attention is required for the home / away condition, since both teams present significantly different results at home and abroad.

St Etienne :

The home team is currently in the 7 th position of the league, with 18 points won, after 5 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Olympique Lyonnais, by (0-5). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Lille, by (3-1). This is a team that, oddly enough, has had better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses in away matches; against 3 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses at their stadium. For the league, Saint-Étienne won 11 points out of 21 possible points, after 3 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses in the last 7 home matches. The team allowed goals to the opponent in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition, so it has not been very strong defensively. In 13 matches in the competition, they suffered the first goal 7 times and only managed 1 comeback.

The Saint Étienne initiated in a positive way this edition of the French championship, but it did not manage to maintain the good performance and it does not win for four days, having accumulated three defeats in that period. The last one was away from home, against Lille, in a game that failed many passes, had little possession of the ball and left much to be desired in offensive terms. In the last four days, he scored only one goal, thus showing a worsening attack, which is among the ten worst in the competition. Playing at home, he conquered just over half of the points played so far and in this condition he has one of the worst defenses. The coach is often alternating tactical scheme of the team, with highlight for Maiga in midfield.

Strasbourg:

After 3 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses, the away team is currently in the 17 th position of the league, with 13 points won. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Troyes, by (3-0). In the last match, they won in a home match against Rennes, by (2-1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses in away matches; against 8 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses at their stadium. For the league, Strasbourg won 5 points out of 21 possible points, after 1 win, 2 draws and 4 losses in the last 7 home matches. Their defense has not been very solid, since they suffered at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 13 games in this tournament, he suffered the first goal 7 times and never got the comeback.

Strasbourg has not been doing a good campaign in the French championship, as it managed to accumulate four consecutive defeats, but now has the opportunity, for the first time, to win two consecutive victories. On the last day, he played a very balanced game against Rennes, but the good performance of midfield and attack ensured the three points inside the home. The only sector that left to desire was the defensive one, and the numbers of the competition show that it has been happening since the beginning of the competition, so much that now it has the weakest defense, next to the Metz, with an average of 1.84 goals suffered per game. On the other hand, the club is among the six that most end in the championship. The technician is likely to keep the team in 4-2-3-1 or 4-1-2-1-2, with a highlight for Lienard, who was chosen as the game’s best player on the last day.
