Brest vs Saint-Etienne Soccer Betting Tips
Since his return to Ligue 1 at the start of last season, Brest has been quite surprising. Indeed, Finistériens are often able to thwart the best teams in this championship but sometimes struggle to make the difference against teams deemed inferior. Winners of Monaco (1-0), Olivier Dall’Oglio’s men experienced great difficulties thereafter and lost against Nantes (3-1), Strasbourg (0-3) then Rennes (2-1) . And yet, they were the first to win in Ligue 1 against Lille this season after a quality match (3-2). In the standings, they find themselves in 13th place with 2 lengths ahead of their opponent of the day.
Opposite, Saint-Etienne greatly worries in this first part of the season. While they were the only ones to start with 3 wins in this new championship, the Greens have completely exploded in flight this fall. When in doubt, Forez players have systematically bowed over the last 6 days. Recently, Claude Puel’s men have been beaten in Metz (2-0), by Montpellier (0-1) then by Lyon (2-1) in the derby despite a fairly decent performance spoiled by individual errors. In the standings, the Stéphanois slipped to 15th place with only 2 points ahead of the red zone.
The workforce for Brest vs Saint-Etienne
Brest once again recorded the defections of its potentially titular defenders Hérelle and Bain and of its twirling winger Philippoteaux, all in the infirmary. Excellent defensively since the start of the season, defender Perraud is also prolific since he has already scored 3 goals this year, which makes him the top scorer of his team.
The Greens are deprived of important defenders Sissoko, Mason, Retsos and Debuchy, and the potential offensive holder Nordin. Very prolific during the first days, Romain Hamouma is less successful lately and he has not scored since the second day. The goalkeeper Moulin also comes out of an average performance against Lyon after having been responsible for the 2nd goal of Les Gones.
The probable compositions for Brest vs Saint-Etienne:
Brest: Larsonneur – Pierre-Gabriel, Duverne, Chardonnet, Perraud – Mbock, Belkebla – Honorat, Charbonnier, Faivre – Cardona.
Saint-Etienne: Moulin – Camara, Moukoudi, Kolodziejczak, Trauco – Youssouf, Gourna-Douath, Neyou, Bouanga – Aouchiche – Abi.
