Saint-Etienne, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 3-2 home win over Bastia in their last league game, Saint-Etienne will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. Their share of possession in that meeting was 56%, while racking up 12 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target, in contrast to Bastia, who had 11 shots on goal with 5 on target.
Having lost 13 goals in their past 6 matches, boss Laurent Huard will surely be casting a critical eye over his defensive line, even though his team managed to pick up some points along the way due to the 7 goals they scored. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
Results have been poor for St-Etienne recently, with 4 losses and only 1 win from their last 6 league games their current form is not going to help them move up the table.
Laval, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Laval players having failed to take any points away from their recent 3-1 home defeat at the hands of Auxerre. In that game they recorded 40 % of the possession, with 5 attempts on goal, 3 on target. Their opponents found the target on 5 of their 13 shots on goal.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 5 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 10 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
They have had a strong run of away form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games on the road and picking up 4 wins along the way.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Laval, Amine Cherni will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 0-1 win for Saint-Etienne.
St-Etienne have managed to keep a clean sheet against Les Tango in each of their previous 3 meetings at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard. The Les Tango defence has struggled at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 6 visits.
Laval will be hoping to get at least a point from this game having lost the last 4 times they've visited St-Etienne in the league and not won this away fixture at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard for 6 games in a row.
With no real injury worries, St-Etienne manager Laurent Huard will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Laval manager Olivier Frapolli has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
