Saint-Etienne — Angers forecast and bets for the French Championship match

Current form

Saint-Etienne cannot get out of the crisis. The team has not won six matches in a row — four defeats and two draws. The magic of Eric Horneland's arrival as head coach is not helping. I'm getting worse at playing on my own field with every match. In the first match in January, we managed to win against Reims (3:1), then there was a draw with Nantes (1:1), and after that we lost to Rennes (0:2). Despite such unsuccessful performances lately, the Greens are the favorite, and the upcoming opponent has noticeably improved the game plan.

Disqualifications and injuries

Old, Wadji, Muffek, Appiah are injured and will not appear on the field. 

Interesting betting trends

• Saint-Etienne have lost their last three matches.
• The hosts miss 11 matches in a row.

Approximate composition: Larsonnier – Petro, Batubincica, Nade, Cornoud – Bouchouari, Equa, Mouton –Cardona, Stassen, Davitashvili.

Current form

In 2025, we see a completely new Angers. The team is showing amazing results. Nine matches have been played since the beginning of January, and there are six wins, two losses and one draw. The guests reached the quarterfinals of the French Cup, beating Strasbourg 3-1, but the team suffered defeats from Marseille and Lens, which are higher in the ranking, so there's nothing terrible about it. Currently, the relegation zone manages to be ahead by eight points, but before the New Year, the team, as well as the upcoming counterpart, fought to keep their registration in the league.

Disqualifications and injuries

Lepol, Untongi, Arkus, Dieng, and Bumla are injured, while Aholu will miss the match due to suspension. 

Interesting betting trends

• Angers have won four of their last five matches on the road.
• In four of the last five meetings, the guests missed

Approximate composition: Fofana – Raolisoa, Bamba, Lefort, Khanin – Capelle, Belkebla – Alevina, Belkdim, El Melali – Niane.
