Saint-Étienne - Troyes betting tips and odds

Though Saint-Étienne are more likely to win this, an away win would only be slightly surprising. It’s a relatively balanced matchup, which usually means we’ll see some exciting football.

Troyes appear severely unprepared for a clash with Saint-Étienne, to the point of being considered hard underdogs. We would consider even a draw a success, so the long 3.80 odds for an away win bit seem fitting.

Saint-Étienne’s previous performance against Lille brought a $RESULT stalemate which lasted throughout the runtime. All things considered, though, this can be counted as a bit of a success for them. After all, they were in an away game against a greatly favoured team.

Troyes are bursting with confidence after their latest Ligue 1 home victory. Despite being tagged clear underdogs in the matchup against Nantes, they were ahead at both half time and the final whistle.

Saint-Étienne leave quite the impression whenever we see them play in front of their fans at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard. They scored more than 5 goals in total the last 3 times they did so, which is a solidly impressive record.

The away team’s previous three away games left a lot to be desired when it comes to how they perform defensively. Over 5 conceded goals in just 3 matches is never a good look, even if you’re playing as visitors.

Number 18th in the current Ligue 1 standings, the hosts can’t afford high ambitions this late in the season. They’ll need to focus on staying away from relegation – and they should be able to get at least a draw in this match.

Troyes are hovering in the lower parts of the league table, currently at number 15th. Their only goal right now is to build up more space between them and the relegation zone as we enter the latter parts of the season. Saint-Étienne are hardly a good opportunity to earn points, however, considering the 3.80 odds on the visitors winning.

One of the main reasons the bookies are pricing a home win at 2.10 is the previous clash between these two teams. Earlier in the season, Saint-Étienne won as visitors. To be fair, though, it was a relatively narrow victory.

A string of injuries put a large chunk of the visitors’ lineup out of contention. They’ll have to make do without Brandon Dominguès, Yoann Touzghar, Jessy Moulin, Tanguy Banhie-Zoukrou, Adil Rami, Gerson Rodrigues. Given that they were already underdogs anyhow, this puts them at a severely disadvantaged position.

Betting on a Draw is likely to be your best option, though it’s a relatively risky wager. It offers decent value with the 3.60 odds, though, which can be found at top online bookmakers such as bwin.
