LiontipsSaint-Etienne vs. Strasbourg. Prediction (odds 2.26) and bets on the French Championship match
Command Analysis
Current form
Saint-Etienne suffered their second defeat in a row in Ligue 1, losing 2-4 to Angers in the last round. The hosts of the upcoming match have serious problems in defense, as they have conceded goals in five matches in a row, and in three of the last four the goalkeeper has pulled the ball out of the net at least twice.
In total, the club has conceded 24 goals in the current Ligue 1 season, which is the second-worst result after Montpellier (29). The Greens also cannot boast of good results in terms of goals scored: in the current championship, they have managed to score only eight times, only Le Havre has scored less (7). It is not surprising that with such results, the club is in the play-off zone, occupying 16th place.
Disqualifications and injuries
Moncondois, Briançon, Cornude, Wadji, Macon and Auld are all injured and will not appear on the pitch.
Interesting trends for betting
Saint-Etienne have lost their last two matches
The hosts have conceded goals in five games in a row
Probable line-up: Larsonnier - Appiah, Batubinsika, Nade, Petro - Mouton, Ekwa, Bushuari - Boakye, Sissoko, Davitashvili.
Current form
In the previous round, Strasbourg achieved its third victory in the current championship, defeating its opponent with a score of 3:1. Before that, the team played four draws and suffered two defeats. This success allowed the team to rise to the ninth place in the Ligue 1 standings and reduce the gap with the European Cup zone to one point.
It is worth noting that Strasbourg are third in the league in terms of scoring, with 19 goals. Only PSG (28 goals) and Marseille (21 goals) have more. Liam Rosenior’s protégés have scored in every game of the current Ligue 1 season, and their goal streak has now reached 13 games in a row. Of course, no one wants to break such an impressive trend.
Disqualifications and injuries
Delane, Emega, Belaarukh, Wiley, Sahi and Lukovic are injured, while Senaia will not take to the field due to suspension.
Interesting trends for betting
Strasbourg have scored in 13 consecutive matches
The visitors have conceded in the last three matches
Estimated line-up: Petrovic – Due, Sarr, Sow – Bakwa, Doucouré, Santos, Moreira – Diarra – Nanasi, Mara.

1.85Tip and bets
Saint-Etienne have suffered defeats in their last two matches, which does not inspire optimism. If the defeat to Lens in the eighth round could have been predicted, then the defeat by a direct competitor in the fight for survival in the last match was clearly not in the plans of the Greens.
The team defensive performance is the most disappointing. Even the low-scoring Angers scored four goals. The unreliable play of the back line will create problems for the hosts in the upcoming match, considering that one of the best attacking teams in the league will come to them.
Our prediction is a victory for Strasbourg with odds of 1.94
Bet on total
Saint-Etienne have failed to score in five of their last six defeats. We believe that in the upcoming match the hosts will again be unable to open up the defence of Strasbourg, who are gaining momentum.
Our prediction is that at least one will not score with a coefficient of 2.26
Bet on corners
It is unlikely that the upcoming match will be an open one. Having scored once or twice, the visitors will start to roll the ball around in the center of the field, and the game will become defensive, in which there will not be many corners.
Our prediction is total under 8.5 corners with odds of 1.77
