Saint-Etienne host Rodez in Saturday’s Ligue 2 match at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard. Saint-Etienne will be hoping for improved results after losing 3-2 in Ligue 2 in their last match against FC Mets.

It is unusual for Saint-Etienne to have played defensively in recent matches. The facts show that Saint-Etienne have failed to prevent their opponents from scoring in 5 of their last 6 matches and have conceded 11 away goals. We will soon see if this trend continues in this game.
Rodez and their traveling fans will be looking forward to better results after losing their last Ligue 2 game against Grenoble. Mamadu Diarra (61′) scores for Grenoble.
Rhodes had a goal deficit in their last 6 games and came back to win their first 3 games. In this match, Rodez saw a total of seven goals scored by their opponents.
In this match, Rodez have not won any home game in their last 3 league games.
