Saint-Étienne Caen betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This clash brings together two teams that have not been doing great campaigns so far within the French Championship. However, Caen's situation is quieter as it appears in the middle of the table with four points more than its opponent. The home team has been very imprecise in completing, while its defense fails in several aspects, especially in the coverage of the sides and in the defensive set pieces. Caen has difficulty keeping possession of the ball and also at the time of finishing, but its defense stands out in the aerial game and in the defensive set pieces. In this way, since both teams do not have a good offensive power, it is a good option to bet on a few goals.

Analysis Saint-Étienne

After 6 wins, 5 draws and 11 losses, the home team is in the 16th position, havinf won 23 points so far. In the last match, they have lost in an away match against Nice by (1‑0), after in the previous match they have lost (3‑0) an away match against Metz. This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 4 draws and 9 losses in away matches; against 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses at their stadium. In their last match, for the Coupe de France, they got an away loss against Troyes by (4‑3), after a penalty shootout. In the last 10 home league matches Saint‑Étienne has a record of 3 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses, so they have won 13 points out of 30 possible. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 12 of their 22 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 1.

Saint Étienne has a chance to add the second successive home win for the French championship in this match and thus make up for the shameful performance it has been having away from home, where it has lost the last five games. In the last round, the team failed in offensive terms, failing to pierce the blockade of Nice's defense, and thus ended up suffering another setback away from home. Although it has conceded only one goal, the team has been characterized by an inconsistent defensive system, which is among the four most leaked in the competition. Already its attack has not been doing a good job, having not scored goals on nine occasions. At home, the team won just under 50% of the points played, and in this condition has the third defense more leaked. The 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 should be the scheme used in this duel by the coach, who should not have large embezzlements.

Confirmed Lineup: Stéphane Ruffier, Saidy Janko, Gabriel Silva, Neven Subotić, Loïc Perrin, Assane Dioussé, Yann M'Vila, Rémy Cabella, Paul-Georges Ntep, Kévin Monnet-Paquet, Robert Berić.
Coach: L. Batlles.

Analysis Caen

The away team is currently in the 11th position of the league, with 27 points won, after 8 wins, 3 draws and 11 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Bordeaux, by (0‑2). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Olympique Marseille, by (0‑2). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 11 goals scored and 18 conceded; against 6 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses at their stadium, with 11 goals scored and 14 conceded. In their last match, for the Coupe de France, they got an away win against Canet by (3‑4) after a penalty shootout. In the last 10 away league matches Caen has a record of 3 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses, so they have won 10 points out of 30 possible. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (5 out of 10 matches). In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 22 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 12 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 10 away matches for this competition there are 2 periods that stand out: they have scored 3 of their 6 goals between minutes (76'‑90'); they have conceded 5 of their 14 goals between minutes (46'‑60').

Caen sees in this exhibition the opportunity to add the second win followed away from home for the French Championship, thus compensating for the poor results it has accumulated at home, where it has not won for four matches, scoring a goal in only one of them. In the last round, the team had a poor performance against Olympique de Marseille, finishing with only 39% possession and five shots, allowing two goals to the opponent. As was evident in this confrontation, the offensive sector has been one of the main responsible for the undesirable performance of the team, so much so that it is the worst of the competition. Another weakness of the team is the exchange of passes, which has the second worst average of hits. The coach has been testing various tactical formations, and will probably make some changes between the initial eleven.

Confirmed Lineup: Rémy Vercoutre, Frédéric Guilbert, Alexander Djiku, Romain Genevois, Damien Da Silva, Vincent Bessat, Baissama Sankoh, Stef Peeters, Julien Féret, Ivan Santini, Ronny Rodelin.
Coach: N. Seube.
