Reims vs St Etienne Prediction & Betting tips
Not PSG or Lille – no – AS Saint-Etienne is currently the best team in Ligue 1: at least if the flashback is only made on the last five games. For four rounds was not lost and retracted three times a victory. However, the opposition was not the strongest, so the series has to be relativized. Nevertheless, the green-whites continue to confirm their very good season performance in these weeks; Currently they are even in fourth place, which would ensure participation in the Europa League. However, the fight for international business in Ligue 1 is very tough and the points gaps to the competitors like Olympique Marseille are quite close. So ASSE must continue to score, so it works after two years of abstinence once again with the European stage. The next task is also very difficult.
The hosts from Champagne have already been able to enjoy the local fine drink more often this season to celebrate a victory. As a starter at the start, Stade Reims ranked on a very respectable seventh place and has only five points behind on the upcoming opponent. At home, the team of coach David Guion has been particularly strong to date – only two defeats from 16 home games illustrate this. In the case of Reims against St. Etienne, the odds are therefore not a clear favorite and the tip goes in view of the current form on the double chance for the guests. One of the reasons for this is the statistics, as the southern French have not lost to Stade for nine competitive games. The Reims against St. Etienne forecast goes hand in hand with a median stake of 5 units.
Reims:
The six-time champion, last in 1962, dominated the previous year, the Ligue 2 at will and was able to return to the Beletage of French football after relegation in 2016. A comeback that can be proud of: With 48 points, Reims takes seventh place and is still in strike distance to fourth place, currently occupied by the upcoming opponent. A success, which Stade Reims has developed mainly through a very good defensive. On average, it does not collect more than one goal per encounter – a value that is beaten only by Nice, Lille and Paris Saint-Germain. Even the failure of Konan N’Clomande, who was taken out of the Primeira Liga last summer by Vitória Guimarães and has become an important pillar in the defense network of Reims, has not changed the defensive strength in recent weeks.
In general, one must pay tribute to the scouting department, as despite limited financial resources, for example, with the Belgian Björn Engels another very good defender was committed before the season of Olympiacos Piraeus. Especially in the home Stade Auguste-Delaune the defense leaves hardly anything. It can be read that the cut on conceded goals here is even only 0.75 per game and already seven clean sheets have been housed in 16 home games. At Reims against St. Etienne, the odds for another are therefore quite worth considering. Wetten.com offers odds of 2.65. The fact that she is currently well, had to experience on the penultimate round of the offensive Lille, which did not come out over a 1-1, and last weekend AS Monaco, who had to content themselves at home with a goalless draw against Reims.
Attack department but not keep up. This also comes to exactly one goal per match and thus has an average value. With Remi Oudin Reims only has a regularly scoring offensive player. This is of course a problem for Stade Reims, as the opposing coaches concentrate on him in the respective match plan and the offensive alternatives at Reims are missing. How much Stade is dependent on the Frenchman shows his yield of ten goals and two assists, which he was involved in more than a third of all goals of the club.
St. Etienne:
St. Etienne is in the battle for fourth place currently most stable compared to the other competitors. For four rounds was not lost and instead won three times. Given the crisis at Olympique Lyon, where coach Genesio has now announced his retirement from the coach for the end of the season, the southern French can even make legitimate hopes for third place. So they caught up four points to Lyon on the last two matchdays and are only three points behind with only a slightly worse goal difference.
The proud club that has won the championship ten times and is still the country’s record champion, even though the last title dates back to 1981, and thus slowly but surely 40 years ago, is toying with the qualification for the Champions League. The fact that Saint-Etienne has been particularly successful internationally has also been lagging behind for a very long time: the biggest triumph was the finals in the European Cup in 1976, when FC Bayern München were beaten by Franz Beckenbauer, Sepp Meier and Gerd Müller ,
This season, the seventh last season but presented very consistent and in the summer he fished with the Tunisian Wahbi Khazri a real Goalgetter of Stade Rennes. The 28-year-old has 13 goals, which means he scores almost every second league match on average. After various stations such as Girondins Bordeaux or Sunderland, also during the phase in the Premier League, he has now obviously found happiness in the sunny south of France. In the 3-0 on the final day against his former club Bordeaux headed the fifth goal scorer rating also the first goal, but only by penalty. Nevertheless, the knot could have burst again with him, because he met again after a dry spell of almost a quarter, whose length was favored by two interim locks.
