Saint-Étienne - Toulouse predictions

The online bookies marked Saint-Étienne as the favourites, which makes a lot of sense. Still, we wouldn’t put Toulouse winning beyond them – not to mention that draws are a strong possibility in relatively balanced games.

The visiting team understands the difficulty of the task that lies ahead. A win against Saint-Étienne on their own field would be a major feat, and it is always a tough endeavor.

With $ODDS_HOME_LAST_ROUND_AWAY betting odds to win their previous away match, it’s fair to say Saint-Étienne were never the favourites to do such a thing, let alone pull it in an impressive manner. Yet after taking an early lead they eased to a Reims HT/FT victory which will be a huge boost for their morale ahead of Saturday.

Toulouse’s latest Ligue 1 match ended in disappointment. A draw against Lens doesn’t sound too bad on paper, but we have to remember that top online bookies considered them favourites at odds of 2.30. Besides, it was a home game for them.

Looking over the home team’s recent record, we can see a worrying trend. They’ve conceded more than 5 goals over the past 3 matches alone, indicating problems in their defensive lineup.

Away matches for Toulouse are often a good chance to go for something like an Under 5 Goals bet. Their previous two away games both ended up confirming it – none of them contained more than a single goal in total.

With a 17th spot on the league standings, Saint-Étienne seem to be heading for relegation. This Saturday will be one of their last chances to redeem themselves – though they’ll need a total of 0 points to be safe.

Surprisingly enough, the hosts already lost to Toulouse once this season. This came as a bit of an upset, to say the least, considering they are widely believed to be the stronger team.

Despite being seen as underdogs by most online bookmakers, the visiting team will be able to give their all this Saturday. They have no reported injuries or suspensions going in, so at least they’ll be able to rely on their best players and strategies.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1.61 at Pncl.
