Given the form of both teams bet on a home win looks pretty safe, while the share for January 1 is very good singer, 3.55. But if we look at developments in displacements from Ligue 1 side, we see that they do well, having won four matches in the last five such disputes. But they seem to have a weakness that I think can be exploited. So the confrontation between Saint-Etienne and Lyon I chose a tip based on what will succeed the home team in this game. See below my forecast and arguments just for him, but details and statistics about the two teams.
