St Etienne vs Reims Predictions

• St. Etienne have lost their last three matches
• Reims have taken ten points from their last five away matches
• Reims are unbeaten in their last five matches again St. Etienne

Tough to take hosts at odds-on 

Quite remarkably the hosts are odds-on for this one, with the angle presumably being they still have everything to play for in their fight for survival. Despite the visitors having little to play for and may well make wholesale changes, I would find it difficult to back the hosts at odds-on give their recent efforts – St. Etienne have lost their last three matches and have conceded ten goals in those three outings. St. Etienne have struggled at home all season and there is every chance their fans could turn on them in such a big game, should things not go their way early.

Reims have impressed on the road

Reims can currently be backed at around the 7/2 mark for their visit to St. Etienne, and that looks to be the value play here given their recent efforts on the road. Reims have taken ten points from their last five away matches. Reims ran out comfortable 2-0 winners when these sides met in December and there looks to be no reason why they can’t complete the double over St. Etienne on Saturday.

Reims simply must be backed on a value basis alone on Saturday. There is more than enough form in the book to back up this selection and I will be more than happy to put the visitors up as the main selection for this one. The correct score prediction for Saturday’s game will be a 2-1 away win – Two of Reims’ last three away wins have come by way of a 2-1 score line.
