Claim Welcome Bonus🏠 Saint Etienne Preview
Saint Etienne’s 2024/25 campaign has been nothing short of disastrous. Winless in 11, with a form line of DLDLL, they’ve plummeted to 17th in Ligue 1 and are now staring down relegation. Their home form mirrors their overall crisis—five home games, no wins, and barely a spark. With an xG of 1.12, they create very little, and the injury to Augustine Boakye strips them of even more attacking punch. They’ve conceded in 16 straight matches and tend to start slow, often letting in the first goal. There’s no question: confidence is rock-bottom at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard.
✈️ Stade Brest Preview
Stade Brest have quietly emerged as one of Ligue 1’s most consistent mid-table sides this season, sitting 8th with a 13W-4D-11L record. They come into this game on a 4-match unbeaten run, including an impressive 2-1 victory over Monaco. Even away from home, Brest have found ways to win, backed by an xG of 1.62 that reflects their attacking efficiency. Despite missing key players like Romain Faivre and Bradley Locko, their squad has shown depth and tactical structure. They’ve scored first in 5 of their last 6 games and look far more organized than their struggling opponents.
