St Etienne vs Paris SG Prediction & Betting tips
Mauricio Pochettino is on Wednesday evening before his first match as head coach of PSG. The 48-year-old Argentinian took over the vacant coaching position from Thomas Tuchel last week. The primary goal of the sheik-club from the French capital is undoubtedly the trophy in the Champions League, but the Parisians are also under pressure in Ligue 1.
After all, Paris Saint-Germain is “only” in third place in the table after 17 matchdays. In Saint-Etienne, Pochettino wants to celebrate a successful coaching debut, but has to do without numerous top performers. Among other things, Neymar will also miss the important away game in Saint-Etienne.
The best bookmakers see at St. Etienne vs. PSG, according to quotas, still see the guests as clear favorites. A prognosis on this is definitely recommended, even if “ASSE” recently remained unbeaten six times in a row despite personnel worries. This also includes point wins over teams like Lille and Monaco.
St. Etienne:
Claude Puel and his team didn’t have the best start to the season, but still got a tailwind from the board. That trust paid off in the end, after all, the form crisis seems to have been overcome. Most recently, ASSE remained unbeaten six times in a row, including the most recent point division in Monaco.
Despite personnel worries, “Les Verts” showed a strong performance in the away game against the sixth in the table in Ligue 1, but can by no means be satisfied with the minimal point gain. For long stretches, St. Etienne played in the majority and also had far more play than the Monegasque.
Compared to AS Monaco, who scored two goals with two shot attempts, “ASSE” only had two hits to celebrate after 18 shot attempts. Puel’s team will have to work on the exploitation of chances in the upcoming home game, otherwise a point win against the figurehead of Ligue 1 will hardly be possible.
St. Etienne recently remained unbeaten at home three times in a row, but only got three draws. Lobenswart was only the appearance against Lille, currently second in the table in Ligue 1. Overall, “Les Verts” has a record of 2-3-3 in eight home games.
On Wednesday evening, the options at Table-14. from Saint-Etienne with the current staffing concerns. Claude Puel will be missing a total of six players against PSG. Compared to the youngest starting XI against Monaco, we can expect some changes.
If “ASSE” is surprised and wins the home game against the Parisian star ensemble, St. Etienne vs. PSG paid out attractive odds for a tip on the home side.
PSG :
Thomas Tuchel had to say goodbye to PSG after a mixed first half of the season. Although the German trainer of the Sheikh Club celebrated numerous title wins at national level, he was unable to achieve the long-awaited title win in the Champions League. Under Mauricio Pochettino, the goal of the Parisians remains unchanged.
The Argentine is no stranger to the capital club. After all, the 48-year-old played in PSG’s dress from 2001 to 2003. On Wednesday evening, Pochettino will make his debut as head coach of Paris Saint-Germain. In Saint-Etienne there is no easy hurdle, especially since there are currently some failures in the table third.
In total, the Argentine trainer may not have ten players in the first competitive game of the new calendar year, including PSG star Neymar. It is therefore difficult to predict with which starting line-up Pochettino will tackle the away game in Saint-Etienne.
In the eight away games of the current Ligue 1 season, PSG currently has a record of 5-1-2. In two of the last three away games, the star ensemble from Paris remained without a win, including the away defeat against the Monegasque when the Parisians conceded a total of three goals.
Even if there are currently numerous failures in the PSG squad, there is still enough quality in the squad to master the upcoming away game against “ASSE”. Above all on the offensive, where PSG’s top scorer Kylian Mbappé (12 goals) is ready to go.
