Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-1
St Etienne
Buoyed by a 2-0 win over Bordeaux, Strasbourg take on Saint-Etienne at Stade de la Meinau in what is expected to be a very interesting match. Le Racing did well to beat ten-man Girondins in the opening game of the season and they must be high on confidence ahead of the visit of les Verts. It is well known that Strasbrourg are tough to beat at home, but Sunday’s football match against Saint-Etienne will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts. Les Verts, on the other hand, recorded a hard-fought 2-1 win over Guingamp in their opener, but they should be happy with one point from the match against Strasbourg. Taking everything into account, a close encounter is on the horizon and we predict the two teams are going to share the spoils at Stade de la Meinau.

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.
