St Etienne vs Brest Predictions

• These sides have drawn 16 Ligue 1 games between them in 2020-21
• Both teams have scored in 20 of Brest’s 33 Ligue 1 matches this term
• Each of Brest’s last four games have featured under 2.5 goals

St-Etienne and Brest could share the spoils

It is getting to the stage of the Ligue 1 season where it is more important for clubs like St-Etienne and Brest to simply avoid defeat rather than go for wins in order to ensure their top-flight status for another campaign.

With that in mind, the clash between the struggling sides at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard could be on course for a stalemate this weekend.

Hosts St-Etienne already have nine league draws to their name this season while Brest have shared the spoils three of their last four games with Angers, Nimes and Lens.

Two of those matches were settled by a 1-1 scoreline and, given St-Etienne have managed only 38 goals in 33 league fixtures in 2020-21, this could be another low-scoring encounter. 

St-Etienne’s last seven matches have featured three wins and four defeats, so it is hard to trust them coming out on top here and punters should back a 1-1 scoreline.
