EVIAN V ST ETIENNE PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS

Evian (17^th) is fighting with Sochaux to stay out of relegation zone. With 11 points, they won 3 games, drew twice and lost 7 times. Evian’s players are not feeling confortable when playing at home (1-2-3), they will try to avoid a third loss in a row at home when hosting St Etienne on Saturday.

St Etienne (4^th) is definitely the good surprise of the season in Ligue 1. With 6 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses, they already have a total of 21 points and they are undefeated since September 15^th. They have the second best attack of the league with 21 goals scored and the best defense with only 8 goals conceded.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

If everything was not perfect last Saturday against Reims, Evian has demonstrated realism and good team spirit to get the three points (1-2). A victory that allows Pascal Dupraz’s men to temporarily get out of the red zone.

St Etienne is the team on fire of the league at the moment, after having defeated Stade Rennais and won in Paris, the Greens have chained a third consecutive victory against Troyes (2-0) last week.

In a match without rhythm, Saint-Etienne’s players were able to win against a good team of Troyes. Amazing goal from Cohade at the start of the second period, then another of Aubameyang shortly before the final whistle have been enough for St Etienne to chain a third consecutive victory in Ligue 1 and claim a fourth place only 2 points behind leader PSG.

EVIAN V ST ETIENNE PREDICTIONS:1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

The market sees the visiting team as a favourite here with Betsson offering a nice 2.20 odd.

The home team is priced at 3.71 with Pinnacle and the draw is offered at 3.30 with William Hill. The green boys are in a tremendous form at the moment, they don’t have major players injured and they are full of confidence. I think 2.20 is a good value for St Etienne, combining that odds with the €25 risk free bet looks like a good deal to me.

EVIAN V ST ETIENNE PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

The Asian market is set as Evian + 0.5 at 2.03 with Betvictor and St Etienne – 0.5 at 1.90 with Pinnacle. For the same reasons explained before, I would back the visiting team here.

EVIAN V ST ETIENNE PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

The under 2.5 goals is favourite here with Betvictor offering 1.80, the best price for the over is offered by Pinnacle at 2.11. 2 of the last 5 games played in Evian have ended with 3 goals or more while 3 of the last 5 games played by St Etienne away have finished with more than 2.5 goals. Really hard to predict anything here so I would recommend to go for the value with a small stake on the over.
