Paris Saint Germain aside, the big names in French football (or at least those that are traditionally considered as such) are not going through an exciting year, to put it mildly. Just look at the ranking of Ligue 1 for confirmation: Lyon is only fourth, Marseille fifth and Monaco even third last! On the other hand, they are making a big reality like Lille, Montpellier and Saint-Etienne himself who propose themselves as potential outsiders and are undermining the most prestigious competitors, trying to snatch their decidedly ambiguous places (such as the Champions and Europa League positions). And the Saint-Etienne in this round has the opportunity to reiterate his ambitions and give a signal to Marseille, but also to all skeptics …

The key points of the prediction Saint Etienne vs Marseille

The Saint-Etienne when playing at home is a war machine: there are eight games so far disputed and zero defeats in the passive.

So no home defeat, but – rather – well six wins out of eight: a gait from a great team (only the PSG has done better).

Another data on the home strength of Saint-Etienne is that of goals conceded: only six in the eight games played.

The statistics of Marseille in the away version are quite different: there are five defeats suffered so far on eight games played away from the Velodrome.

For another the problem of Marseille is easy to identify: there are nineteen goals in the passive in the eight games played away.
