------------------------------
St Etienne - LWLLLL
St Etienne won’t want a repeat of their last result here following a 0-4 Coupe De France loss in their previous game against Marseille.
In that game, St Etienne had 21% possession and 3 attempts on goal with 2 of them on target. For their opponents, Marseille got 20 shots at goal with 8 of them on target. Mason Greenwood (22'), Adrien Rabiot (34'), Luis Henrique (68') and Pierre-Emile Højbjerg (81') scored for Marseille.
It has not been often in recent games that St Etienne have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The reality is that St Etienne have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 14 goals during that time. In any event, it remains to be seen whether that pattern might continue on here in this match.
Heading into this contest, St Etienne have not beaten Reims in their previous 6 league matches.
We are thinking that Les Verts will possibly use a 4-3-3 formation this time, utilising Gautier Larsonneur, Dennis Appiah, Dylan Batubinsika, Mickael Nade, Leo Petrot, Benjamin Bouchouari, Pierre Ekwah, Louis Mouton, Mathieu Cafaro, Lucas Stassin and Zuriko Davitashvili.
Reims - WDLDDW
Reims come into this game following on from a 1-3 Coupe De France win to beat Still-Mutzig in their most recent outing.
For Reims, goals were scored by Gabriel Moscardo (8'), Mamadou Diakhon (65') and Nhoa Sangui (76'). Thomas Schall (60') was the scorer for Still-Mutzig.
A succession of outstanding showings by the Reims defenders has seen their ‘goals against’ tally amounting to 4 from their last 6 clashes in total. During the same period, their forwards have scored 7.
Going into this game, the form guide shows that Reims:
remain undefeated by St Etienne when they've played them away from home in the last 3 league matches.
are unbeaten in their previous 2 league matches away from home.
Reims boss Luka Elsner has to currently contend with reduced team options. Joseph Okumu (Adductor pain), Mohamed Daramy (Knee injury), Abdoul Koné (Hamstring injury) and Reda Khadra (Cruciate ligament tear) are those who can’t be considered.
From our viewpoint, Les rouges et blancs could decide to make use of a 4-2-3-1 lineup with a starting lineup of Yehvann Diouf, Aurelio Buta, Emmanuel Agbadou, Cedric Kipre, Sergio Akieme, Amadou Kone, V. Atangana Edoa, Junya Ito, Marshall Munetsi, Keito Nakamura and Oumar Diakite.
Saint-Etienne possible starting lineup:
Larsonneur; Batubinsika, Abdelhamid, Petrot; Appiah, Fomba, Tardieu, Mouton, Cornud; Davitashvili, Stassin
Reims possible starting lineup:
Diouf; Buta, Agbadou, Kipre, Akieme; Kone, Atangana; Ito, Munetsi, Nakamura; Diakite
Saint-Etienne vs Stade Reims Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
The two teams have met on 75 previous occasions going into this weekend’s meeting. Les Verts have won 30 of those fixtures, 23 have ended in draws while Reims have won the remaining 22.
Saint-Ettiene are unbeaten in the last five editions of this meeting with three wins and two draws.
The visitors have only failed to score once in the last 15 meetings with Saint Ettiene.
The hosts have the second-worst offensive record and the second-worst defensive record with only 12 goals scored and 34 goals conceded.
Prediction: Saint-Etienne 0-1 Reims
While a new manager tends to come with good early form for that side, we believe Les Verts' struggles in the attacking third will continue against a well-disciplined defensive unit, who also boast top chance creators that can change the complexion of this game.
