St Etienne vs. Amiens – Prediction (Ligue 1 – 27.10.2019)

Preview and Teams Comparison.

St Etienne are unbeaten in their four games against Amiens in Ligue 1 (W2 D2). Amongst current top-flight sides, Dijon are the only team Les Verts have faced on more occasions without losing in the competition (9 games – W7 D2). It might not have been goal-packed drama, but three 1-0 victories in a row has helped St Étienne to midtable in Ligue 1 (L1), but their average of just 0.9 goals scored per fixture remains one of the lowest in the league. It’ll come as no surprise then that three of St Étienne’s four L1 home games this term produced under 2.5 goals (W1, D2, L1). Denis Bouanga scored the winner in St Étienne’s last L1 game – both his league goals this season arrived after the 80th minute. To continue their winning streak, the hosts would do well to improve their first-half performances – St Étienne have been trailing in three of their four home games at half-time (HT: D1, L3). In the five games they’ve scored first this L1 season though, they went on to win four.

St Étienne are yet to concede in the second half at home this L1 campaign. There’s only been one goalless draw in St Étienne’s last 51 top-flight home fixtures. Both teams have scored in four of Amiens’ last six L1 defeats.

Visiting Amiens have been a much more entertaining watch for the neutral this season, with their fixtures averaging 2.8 goals per game, and subsequently six of ten finishing with over 2.5 total goals. Amiens have won all three L1 games this term that Sehrou Guirassy has found the net – he scored the opener in two of those fixtures. In fact both teams have scored in four of their five away league games so far (W1, D2, L2), with four of those games producing a 1-0 scoreline either way at the break (W2, L2). However, with Amiens yet to concede a goal in the first 30 minutes on the road this term, expect a solid start from the visitors.
