Prediction: 2-2
Angers
Stade Geoffroy-Guichard will host Saturday’s football game between St Etienne and Angers, the two teams that are determined to avoid relegation. Les Verts are currently sitting in the relegation zone with 18 points on their account, but a win over Angers will see them move closer to the safe zone. Returnee Irvin Cardona is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while both Ibrahima Wadji and Dennis Appiah are major doubts.
Les Scoistes, on the other hand, are safe for now, with the team sitting in 11th place in the standings. Angers aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Reims, but beating St Etienne on the road is easier said than done. Anyhow, both teams to score betting option should be considered as les Verts are capable of finding the net in front of home fans. Jim Allevinah limped off with injury in the triumph over Reims, with Farid El Melali likely to replace him in Angers’ starting eleven.
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.
