St Etienne vs Bordeaux Predictions

• Both teams have scored in four of Saint-Etienne’s five Ligue 1 games, with Les Verts scoring five and conceding nine.
• Similarly, both teams have struck in four of Bordeaux’s league fixtures, with Vladimir Petkovic’s side netting five and shipping 12.
• Both sides are winless coming into this clash and currently sit second bottom and bottom of the early standings.

Dodgy defences on display at Stade Geoffroy Guichard

With both of these sides experiencing miserable starts to the campaign, punters are advised to focus on the goal markets when Saint-Etienne take on Bordeaux at Stade Geoffroy Guichard.

This Saturday night’s offering in Ligue 1 sees the bottom two clubs face off in search of their first wins of the campaign, but there’s little to recommend either side bagging all three points.

The hosts have fared marginally better thus far in picking up three draws from five and they managed to beat Bordeaux in both league meetings last term, though the odds-on for a Les Verts success makes zero appeal.

With Bordeaux also readily passed over, our money is on both teams to score as the sides have been well amongst the goals in the early weeks of the season.

Both teams have struck in four out of five league fixtures for the pair, with both sides shipping a dozen goals apiece.

The teams are likely to gamble for the victory here to potentially move themselves out of the relegation zone, and that, coupled with the dodgy defences on show, means goals at Stade Geoffroy Guichard look inevitable.

As we can’t split the sides in terms of the result, we’re going with a draw in the correct score market and 2-2 is our selection with a goal-laden game anticipated.
