St Etienne might be at the bottom of the table but they find they have an opportunity to get some crucial wins under their belt. Three out of the next five league matches for St Etienne will be at home. The club’s last victory in the league was back in October, but Laval have been in terrible shape coming into the game. After conceding eight goals in the last two league outings, Laval are in danger of being sucked into the relegation once again.

At the same time, just two of the last five league games for St Etienne have gone to over 2.5 goals. It would not be a big surprise if the upcoming matches also ends with a decent amount of goals.

One of the big problems of St Etienne so far this season has been a defence that has been shredded apart on many occasions. While St Etienne have conceded over 30 goals already, the visitors are not far ahead on this front with 29 goals.

St Etienne
St Etienne are battling against relegation at the bottom of the table and this is a position that the club would not have been expecting after relegation from the top tier. Manager Laurent Batlles is likely to be without Thomas Monconduit and Sergi Palencia because of calf injuries.
Laval
