Saint-Étienne - Angers SCO predictions

Saint-Étienne are not exactly firm favourites to register three points in this game but we still believe they will manage to defeat Angers SCO. The odds of 2.43 might sound a bit risky but we still trust hosts can come out on top in the end.

The visitors are conscious of the challenge before them. To come out on top against Saint-Étienne on their home field would be a noteworthy accomplishment, and it is never an easy task.

Saint-Étienne’s previous Ligue 1 match did not go their way, but not even the most stubborn fans would have predicted a different result against a team as strong as Olympique Marseille . They played as visitors, and the top online bookmakers priced an away win at 11.51. They never recovered from some early concessions, and the score was brought to a conclusive 5:1 result before the end.

Angers SCO must be feeling fairly confident after their performance in their latest Ligue 1 game. They were the away team in a very tough matchup against Reims but managed to grab a lead in the first half and turn it into a narrow, but praiseworthy 0:1 victory.

The biggest issue the hosts have is a lacklustre backline. They’re currently on a bit of a trend of conceding a lot of goals – over 5 across their 3 previous matches, to be exact.

Angers SCO have a record of uneventful away matches. Specifically, their previous 2 games as visitors featured 1 goal or less.

The home team’s main goal as we enter round 23 is getting as far away from the relegation zone as possible. Though challenging, a victory here would be a great way to do so.

Earlier in the season, Saint-Étienne lost an away game against Angers SCO, though it was with a relatively small goal difference. Most betting predictions agree that things will go differently this time, especially with the 2.43 odds for a home win in mind.

The visitors have to contend with several injuries. Cedric Hountondji, Jim Allevinah, Carlens Arcus, Cheikh Bamba Dieng are the players that will be missing, which makes the Angers SCO lineup somewhat weaker than usual. This is made far worse because they were considered undergods going in either way.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 1.90. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
