Lille - Saint-Étienne predictions

This is a fairly one-sided matchup in the hosts’ favour. While there may be a tiny chance of a draw or even an upset, we wouldn’t count on it. Lille winning is by far the most likely outcome.

Considering what they’re up against, Saint-Étienne can’t set their ambitions too high in this match. Playing as visitors at odds of 8.00 for an away win, calling them underdogs seems like an understatement.

The previous round for Lille was full of ups and downs, and it did not end the way their fans wanted it to. The first half of the game against Strasbourg was solid considering the fact they played as visitors, but they lost momentum towards the end and suffered a 2:1 defeat.

Considering they were visitors playing against a much stronger team, the 1:1 result isn’t too bad for Saint-Étienne. They were tied with Auxerre throughout the match.

Whenever met on their home pitch, the hosts tend to perform at a high level. They scored more than 5 times in their latest 3 home games alone, marking this match as interesting for BTTS and Over 5 Goals markets.

With 18 points earned over the past 20 games, the visitors may be heading down to the relegation zone. After all, they’re projected to lose this upcoming game. That said, it’s too early in the season to make reliable predictions about the final outcome, so they may manage to climb the table yet.

Although the 1.41 betting odds for a home win show that Lille are the favourites, their track record against Saint-Étienne this season is not great. They lost an earlier bout, though it was a rather narrow defeat.

The odds being what they are, remember that they were priced with various injuries in mind. The hosts reported that Edon Zhegrova, Ismaily, Nabil Bentaleb, Samuel Umtiti will have to sit this one out, while Saint-Étienne will have to make do without Yvann Macon, Ibrahima Wadji, Thomas Monconduit, Aimen Moueffek.

The 1xbet sportsbook is offering 1 odds on the Both Teams to Score market, which is a very good bet to take. Considering the team’s records and statistics, it’s as safe of a bet as possible.
