This Sunday at 3:00 p.m., AS Saint-Étienne will host the Football Club de Nantes at the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium, as part of the 18th day of the French Ligue 1 Championship.
A confrontation between two teams fighting for survival, with the same number of points in the standings. If AS Saint-Étienne showed itself generally at a level at home, taking fifteen of its sixteen points gleaned this season in the Cauldron. The Nantes Football Club, for its part, was able to obtain points outside of La Beaujoire.
Antoine Kombouaré's team is 12th in Ligue 1 away with seven points obtained (1 victory, 4 draws and 4 defeats). A victory achieved on the third day of the championship on the pitch of Montpellier HSC (1-3). At home, the Canaries are 14th in Ligue 1 with nine points taken (2 wins, 3 draws, 3 losses). The Greens present before this match a less prolific attack than that of Nantes (16 goals for Saint-Étienne | 20 goals for Nantes) as well as a much less hermetic defense (37 goals conceded for Saint-Étienne | 27 goals conceded by Nantes). It is also this better goal difference which allows the Loire-Atlantique players to be ahead of ASSE in the standings. For the Greens, this difference of -23 is comparable to one point less in the standings.
FC Nantes away:
