Match Preview

The Greens welcome ESTAC Troyes to the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard on Friday for this Ligue 1 match. Troyes fans will be hoping this will be their time to finally secure an away victory in Ligue 1 against AS Saint-Etienne. Their seven previous visits here have resulted in a draw and six defeats, including a run of four defeats in a row coming into Friday’s match.

AS Saint-Etienne come into the match on a run of three home league games undefeated and have kept a clean sheet in each of their last two league matches. They have picked up 11 points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Ligue 1 matches.

Sainté’s last league match, away to LOSC Lille, ended in a dull 0-0 draw. Expected goals of 1.2 to 0.5 in favour of Lille indicates Saint-Etienne were a little fortunate to escape from the game with a point. Les Verts fans will be particularly pleased with the defence who limited a dangerous Lille side to just two shots on target.

Wahbi Khazri is AS Saint-Etienne’s top scorer with nine goals in Ligue 1 this season and is 2.75/1 to score against ESTAC Troyes on Friday.

ESTAC won their last league match at home to FC Nantes. Expected goals of 1.2 to 0.5 in favour of Troyes indicates it was likely a fair result.

Iké Ugbo was the goalscoring hero for Troyes grabbing the game’s only goal just minutes before halftime. Thankfully, Lebo Mothiba’s big miss which would have doubled their lead didn’t come back to haunt them. Ugbo now has two league goals this season for Troyes and is 4/1 to get on the scoresheet again here. The final score of the match was 1-0.
