Saint-Etienne, Recent FormSaint-Etienne manager Laurent Huard will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Bordeaux. Their share of possession in that meeting was 40%, while racking up 10 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target, in contrast to Bordeaux, who had 20 shots on goal with 4 on target.
They have bagged 4 goals in their last 6 matches but haven't taken the points they might have hoped for, primarily due to some indecisive defending that has seen their goal breached 12 times in that period. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard, having lost 3 of their last 6 home games and picking up only 2 wins.
Bastia, Recent FormBastia had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 0-0 draw against Quevilly-Rouen Métropole. In that game they had 49% possession and managed 4 attempts on goal, with 1 on target, compared to Quevilly-Rouen Métropole who had 13 attempts and 3 on target.
They have amassed a limited number of points from their last 6 matches, despite only letting in 3 goals; this has been primarily due to their indifferent form in front of goal with 8 goals spread across those 6 matches. They have failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games, and they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games away from home.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win. So far this season, the bulk of their league games on the road have ended in disappointment, having won just 1 of their first 9 away games.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Bastia, Migouel Alfarela will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
