St Etienne vs Monaco Prediction & Tips
Monaco are aiming for third place, the last place to qualify for the preliminary round of the Champions League, while Saint Etienne are in the hunt for salvation in the 34th day of Ligue 1. The visitors are the league’s most in-form team with five straight victories, including a 3-0 win over top-ranked PSG. The Monegasque side are now on the up and have 56 points, as are Rennes and Strasbourg, but are fifth on goal difference. The challenge against Saint Etienne is a great opportunity because the opponents are third to last with 31 points, even if it must be said that with only one point to recover from Clermont they still have a chance to save themselves, in the last two games they won against Brest and drew against Bordeaux showing they are still alive. So there is a lot of momentum going on here with the visitors obviously the favourites and plenty of goals on the horizon as the hosts have the second worst defence in the tournament while the visitors are on the up.
All of the home side’s last four matches have ended with an Over 2.5 result.
Four of Monaco’s last five matches have ended with three goals on the scoreboard.
Monaco have won their last five Ligue games, scoring a total of 11 goals.
Our prediction for the match between Saint Etienne and Monaco is Over 2,5. The two teams can’t make any calculations, they have to win to reach their goals, and while Monaco have their strong point in attack, Saint Etienne have the second worst defence in the tournament with 64 goals in 33 games, almost two per game. It has to be said that the hosts have scored four goals in their last two games and have scored five in a row. The feeling is that there will be a lot of goals in the match.
