Saint Etienne v Guingamp predictions and betting tips

St Etienne finished a strong 5th last season, and they are expected to be in the top half this season also, perhaps not challenging Marseille and Lyon, but tough to beat for all the big teams. Guingamp finished runner-up in Ligue 2 last season, this season they are expected to have a very tough time and will most likely be relegated.

St Etienne started the season with a win, 1-0 away to Ajaccio. They had most of the possession (52%) and managed eight attempts and two shots on target. Ajaccio were poor in that match only getting one shot on target. Best players for St Etienne were Perrin and Zouma (central defender and left back). The goal was scored by forward Brandao.

Guingamp did not have an easy task in their first match of the season, as they hosted Marseille. The result was a not unexpected 3-1 win to Marseille, although Guingamp managed 13 attempts with 43% possession and dominated aerial duels. Guingamp’s best players were Langil on left midfield and goalie Samassa.

Saint Etienne v Guingamp betting tips

Both teams have some players unavailable, for St Etienne Gradel and Pogba are out with injury, and defender Paul Baysse that was brought in during the summer is injured so his debut is postponed up to six months. For Guingamp, Cerdan, Faure and Bablioni are all out due to injury.

Saint Etienne should win this match, they are in better form and undefeated in last 19 of 20 Ligue 1 matches. Guingamp had defensive problems in their season opener and are likely to switch to formation 4-5-1. Overall the home win looks decent to put into a weekend accumulator, I take 4/9 (1.44) with Bet365. The offensive capabilities of St Etienne should prove too much for Guingamp and I also bet the over 2.5 goals at 21/20 (2.05) with Bet365.
