Prediction: 1-0
St Etienne
Brest will look to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Marseille and Lens when they welcome St Etienne to their Stade Francis-Le Ble on Saturday afternoon. Les Pirates need to improve their game as soon as possible if they are to play important role in the Champions League group stages this term and, no doubt, Saturday’s clash could be the turning point for Eric Roy’s troops. The 56-year-old tactician can’t count on the likes of Hanga’a M’Bock, Bradley Locko, and Pierre Lees-Melou for the round 3 game.
Les Verts, on the other hand, failed to impress in back-to-back defeats to Monaco and Le Havre. As St Etienne are eager to return to winning ways as well, we are tempted to bet on over 2.5 goals. Anyhow, the hosts are closer to picking up all three points from the match than the visitors. The likes of Leo Petrot, Mahmoud Bentayg, Anthony Briancon, and Aimen Moueffek are injured for the away team.
Highlighted Team (St Etienne):
Saint Etienne are a professional football club that compete in French Ligue 1. Les Verts were founded in 1919 by employees of a grocery store chain based in Saint Etienne. Saint Etienne wear green shirts and white shorts when playing at home ground and they play their home matches at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard.
The stadium was opener on 13 September, 1931 and following the renovation the capacity of the venue increased to 42 000. In 1981 les Verts won their tenth Ligue 1 trophy, but they have been in the shadow of Ligue 1 giants Lyon and PSG in the 21st century.
Speaking of the club’s European success, Saint Etienne made it to the European Cup (Champions League) final in 1976, but Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich proved to be a big catch for the French outfit. Anyhow, that is regarded as the club’s biggest success. It has to be noted that the likes of Michel Platini, Jacques Santini, Laurent Blanc and Aime Jacquet all played for Saint Etienne in the past.
