As after each day of the French Ligue 1 championship, our statistician Jacky returns to the significant figures relating to AS Saint-Étienne. Against Nantes, the Greens displayed statistics never seen before.
The numbers after #ASSEFCN :
- Four clubs are now supporting Saint-Étienne in the fight for maintenance, Nantes, Rennes tied on points, Le Havre and Montpellier which is the good deal of the day thanks to the success against Monaco.
- We will have to decide to take points away from home to get by.
- Seventh consecutive match without a victory against Nantes, including three draws for the last three.
- The visits to the Cauldron went rather well for them, it was the thirtieth match, out of fifty-three, without defeat.
- ASSE has conceded at least one goal in the last nine meetings against the Canaries.
- The two starting lineups had an average age of 24.5 years for ASSE, and 27 for Nantes.
- ASSE is ranked 9th at home, 17th away, 17th attack and 17th defense.
- Unlike the difference in goals which could well be important at the end of the season:
12th Rennes (-3)
13th Auxerre (-4)
14e Angers (-6)
15th Nantes (-7),
16e BAKE (-21)
17th Le Havre (-23)
18e Montpellier (-25) - Saint-Étienne is always the worst team in L1 in the first half, it was only twice in the lead at the break (never away) with three goals scored for twenty-one conceded.
They stood out:
- Augustine Boakye author of his third goal, which will undoubtedly remain as one of the most beautiful scored by a green this season.
- Florian Tardieu entered during the match very active and at the origin of the equalizing goal.
- Zuri Davitashvili who woke up after an hour of play.
- Dennis Appiah whose bizarre initiative provoked the Nantes goal.
- The Nantes Plamedi N'Singi out with an injury fifteen minutes after entering the second half.
- Anthony Lopes the Nantes goalkeeper got a fitting ovation, and probably not unhappy that the Kops were empty.
- Antoine Kombouare who replaces a player one minute before the break thus depriving himself of a replacement assignment.
- Nicolas Pallois by far the best Nantes player in the match.
ASSE series in progress in L1:
- Six matches with goals conceded.
- Four matches with goals scored.
- Nine games without a goal scored in the first half.
Good or bad stats:
-- The results and stats do not mix well for ASSE: never, this season, have they been as favorable to ASSE as for this last match in front of Nantes
- 75% green possession, 78% before the break and 73% after.
- Unheard of this season, four Stéphanois played more than 100 balls. Three defenders: Nadé (117), Researcher (114) Appiah (105) and midfielder Bouchouari (113).
- Amazing performance for Tardieu 65 balls in 36 minutes spent on the pitch with 95% successful passes.
- Three times as many passes made by the Stéphanois 742 for 235.
- On the other hand, only one shot outside the area for ASSE, that of the equalizing goal.
- 56% of duels won by the Greens, 51% on the ground, 67% in the air.
- 9 defensive actions for Batu Binsika best Stéphanois in this area, 21 for the Nantais Spherical.
Tribunes and supporters:
- 14,094 people were present at Geoffroy-Guichard, that's 107 less than during the previous match with the two empty kops against Reims.
- This is the sixth attendance of the day which shows an average of 28,343, that of the Ligue 1 season is 27,525.
- 26,119 places occupied on average in the Chaudron since last August.
Referee, discipline, fouls and cards:
- Not much to say about the arbitration of Mr. Beateven if the Nantes residents demanded a penalty for a muscular intervention by Nadé in the first half.
- It was the third meeting of the Greens led this season by this referee, previously, a defeat (Le Havre), a victory (Montpellier).
- Two yellows collected by the Stéphanois, including one which placed Larsonneur under threat of suspension in the event of another yellow during the next three days.
- Twenty fouls called is not much, it corresponds to the average of the day which was the calmest of the season.
- Nine fouls were called in this match against ASSE, again the lowest total (tied) in eighteen matches.
