  • Competition: Ligue 1
  • Date: Saturday, 26th October, 2024
  • Kickoff: 16:00 UK / 17:00 CEST
  • Venue: Stade Raymond-Kopa (Angers)

On Saturday afternoon, two newcomers to the Ligue 1, Angers and St. Etienne, will face off in the ninth round at Stade Raymond-Kopa in Angers.

Angers suffered relegation from Ligue 1 in the 2022/23 season in their eighth consecutive year. Still, they managed to return in the following season after finishing 2nd. However, the Blacks and Whites look like they are one of the relegation candidates this year, as they are in 17th place with four points in eight rounds. Right now, they are the only winless team in the League, and their odds of survival look really slim. The bookies see them as the primary candidate for relegation, with the odds of them ending up in the Ligue 2 set at only 1.2-1.3.

St Ettienne, ten-time French champions, are one of the biggest clubs in France. However, they have been absolutely terrible in recent seasons. Last year, they secured promotion and returned to Ligue 1 but had to go through the playoffs, where they were super lucky to win against Metz. This year, the Greens are only looking to survive somehow. But considering what we have seen from them so far, we do not think that will be an easy task. At this moment, St Etienne are 14th with seven points in eight rounds - just one point away from the danger zone.

Angers vs St Etienne pick: Under 2.5 goals

Both teams have been absolutely terrible offensively thus far. Right now, they are tied for the worst offensive record with only six scored goals in eight rounds - 0.75 goals per game.

This season, Angers didn't have a game where they scored over one goal, while St Etienne failed to score in three out of four road games. All of St Etienne's good performances came at home. So, it is unfair to expect good offensive displays from either team.

Considering what we have seen from these teams, we believe that an under 2.5 goals bet is the best option for this Ligue 1 tie between two relegation contenders.

St Etienne team news

According to French media, one of the key players, Yvann Maçon, recovered after missing the previous five games due to a knee injury and will be available for coach Olivier Dall'Oglio. We do not expect him to be in the starting lineup, but we could see him for limited minutes.

Unfortunately, five players who missed the previous game(s) should remain sidelined - Anthony Briancon, Pierre Cornud, Thomas Monconduit, Ibrahima Wadji, and Ben Old.
