Saint-Etienne, Recent FormSaint-Étienne will not be too disappointed to take a point from their 2-2 result against Caen last time out.
Whilst manager Laurent Battles will be pleased with his team's performance in front of goal, having scored 12 goals in their last 6 games, he will want to tighten up his defence if they are to pick up more points, with 12 goals conceded in the same period. They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games; however, overall they've scored in 33 of their 37 games this season.
It has been a solid run of home form of late, having gone undefeated in 5 of their last 6 matches at home and clocking up 4 wins along the way.
Ibrahima Wadji will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Saint-Étienne.
Valenciennes, Recent FormValenciennes will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 1-0 winners in their home fixture against Grenoble Foot 38.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 9, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 6 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games.
Unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 matches can be counted as a good run of form, particularly with 3 victories included.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Valenciennes, Adrian Grbić will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 2-2 draw.
During the last 3 times these two teams have met in the league at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard, Les Athéniens have been unable to break through the St-Étienne defence and find the back of the net. Away from home, Les Athéniens have shipped at least one goal to St-Étienne in each of their previous 4 league matches against them.
VAFC have lost the last 3 times they've have visited St-Étienne in the league and have failed to win any of their last 4 encounters at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard.
With no real injury worries, St-Étienne manager Laurent Battles will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
There is only really one injury concern for the VAFC manager Ahmed Kantari ahead of this clash, with Quentin Lecoeuche (Broken collarbone) missing out, which gives Kantari a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
