Prediction: 2-2
Monaco
St Etienne will look to escape the relegation zone when they face Monaco at their Stade Geoffroy-Guichard on Saturday evening. Les Verts continue with their old habit of producing fine displays at home, while struggling on the travels and it has to be noted that they defeated star-studded Lyon in their last home fixture. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of Monaco’s visit.
Les Rouges et Blancs, on the other hand, will be without suspended midfielder Lamine Camara in Sunday’s game. Monaco are eager to stay in the Champions League berth and given St Etienne’s attacking potential at home, over 2.5 goals betting option should be considered. In their last meeting at the venue, Monaco rolled over St Etienne 4-1 and yet another high-scoring affair is on the cards. There are no fresh injury worries in 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.
