St. Etienne Lorient St Etienne- Lorient

Lorient

Despite the defeat from Lille in the last round St Ettiene are favorites against Lorient. They are much stronger on home soil and here they feel more comfortable. Les Verts exceed their guests by many indexes right now. The hosts have huge advantage in home- away records and the recent form, but in head- to- head clashes they are behind.
The visitors have stolen few points on the road against top teams and considering the fact, that two of the best scorers of St Etienne (Sinama-Pongolle and Aubameyang) will not appear on Saturday, the home success is not granted. Lorient were very close to deny Lyon for the Coupe de la Ligue; Emeghara and Monnet- Paquet would be supported by the newcomer Douniama from Gingamp. The little man could bring more speed up- front and the lack of Sane shouldn’t be noticed.
Tip: Bet #1: St Etienne win by exactly one goal- Odds: 3.60 Stake: 4/10
Bet #2: Draw- Odds: 3.20 Stake: 4/10
