After losing their previous match against Annecy FC by a score of 2-1 in the Ligue 2 competition, St. Etienne will be hoping to get back to winning ways here. Léo Pétrot (76′) was the only St. Etienne player to score. Annecy FC’s Mose Sahi (2′, 51′) scored the goal.
St. Etienne has rarely displayed defensive toughness in recent years. In point of fact, St. Etienne has conceded 11 goals in five of their previous six matches. In the wake of tasting rout last opportunity to SC Bastia in Ligue 2 activity, SM Caen and their fans will expect to come by an improved outcome this time.
SC Bastia’s scorer was Yohan Ba (91′). A strikingly low number of goals have been scored by SM Caen and opposing teams in five of the previous six games. During that time, Caen averaged 0.67 goals per game, making the overall average of goals scored per game a pitiful 1.67.
Leaving aside the results of the past, we will just have to wait and see if that trend continues in this game. In their previous two league games, SM Caen hasn’t won against St. Etienne when they’ve played them away from home.
