Clermont vs Paris SG Prediction & Tips
Saint-Étienne and Nîmes play at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard in a Ligue 2 2nd round clash. At this stadium, the head-to-head record is in favour of the home team, who have 3 wins and 1 draw in their last 4 matches. However, the last time they met at this stadium was on 20-12-2020, in a Ligue 1 match that ended in a draw by (2-2). The goals in the match were scored by A. Nordin (63′ ) and H. Moukoudi (8′ ) for Saint-Étienne and by M. Ahlinvi (14′ ) and R. Ripart (56′ ) for Nîmes.
The home team presents itself in this 2nd round after the defeat in its league debut, against Dijon, by (2-1). In the last 10 home games Saint-Étienne record 4 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses. Defensive solidity has not been their strong point as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 games, but their attack has been scoring with regularity as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 games.
Saint-Étienne’s team does not possess as much quality and has won only twice in the last 12 games. They didn’t start the French second division with the right foot and the coach will have to make changes to improve the team. Having just lost away from home, Nîtienne will be anxious to get back to winning ways and will be aggressive in attack.
The away team arrives in this 2nd round after a defeat in their debut, to Caen, by (0-1). In the last 10 away games Nîmes won 5, drew 1 and lost 4. The team allowed goals to the opponent in 8 of the last 10 games, so there are defensive processes that need to be improved.
Just like their opponent, Nîmes team is not in the best phase and suffers many defeats. It was with defeat that the team debuted in the competition and they are aware that they will have to improve if they want to fight for something other than not being relegated. The visitors will be more focused on defending and will have to improve if they want to avoid relegation.
