Saint-Etienne Preview – Can Saint-Etienne end losing run?
A 3-1 defeat away at Metz on the weekend became Saint-Etienne’s fifth defeat in six matches in the French top flight which meant that Saint-Etienne remained in the bottom half of Ligue 1 in a disappointing 15th place.
Recent losses to Reims, PSG, Strasbourg, Nantes and Metz have resulted in Saint-Etienne slipping into a worrying losing slump which has resigned the hosts to a lowly position in the French top flight although there’s still no need to press the panic button yet in terms of relegation fears.
Saint-Etienne still hold a useful 9-point cushion over third from bottom club, Amiens, prior to these midweek matches but their results at home have been a mixed bag; wins against Nice and Nimes have been offset by losses to PSG and Nantes while their home record stands at an inconsistent looking 4-4-3 13/14.
Marseille Preview – Can Marseille extend unbeaten run?
In stark contrast to Saint-Etienne’s current losing slump, Wednesday night’s visitors, Marseille, have put together an impressive 11-match unbeaten sequence in Ligue 1 which has helped lift Marseille into 2nd spot and one of the two automatic Champions League spots.
This impressive sequence of results have seen Marseille emerge as one of the serious challengers for a top two finish in the domestic top flight and they’ve proved they can grind out results on a consistent basis as they’ve won 8 of these 11 matches as well.
Marseille’s exploits away from home have also seen them put together a decent record which stands at 5-4-2 13/12 which includes being unbeaten in their last 5 matches on their travels with wins picked up at Toulouse, Angers and Rennes.
The bigger picture also shows just 3 defeats out of their last 15 matches on their travels in Ligue 1.
