Match Preview
| AS Saint-Étienne host Nîmes Olympique in this Ligue 1 (L1) clash, with ‘Les Verts’ looking to build on their outstanding historical top-flight H2H home record against the visitors (W23, D5, L4). Meanwhile, Nîmes will be hunting their first league win at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard since August 1971! |
| The hosts were on a run of two league losses ‘to nil’ before claiming their largest victory of the L1 campaign as they hammered Caen 5-0 last time out. However, Jean-Louis Gasset’s side have lost just three of their last 15 L1 fixtures on their own turf (W10, D2, L3), scoring at least two goals in each of these ten victories! |
| Nîmes travel here following four defeats in their last five league road trips, and the fact they have conceded at least twice on each occasion will concern manager Bernard Blaquart. Across this L1 campaign, Nîmes have scored an average of 1.43 goals per away game, and can boast the third-highest average number of shots per road trip (13.93). |
| However the visitors’ leaky defence has conceded an average of 1.93 goals per L1 away fixture so far, with only two sides conceding more on the road this term. Furthermore, if they lose here, it will likely be ‘to nil’, as ‘Les Crocodiles’ have failed to score in six of their seven L1 away losses this term. |
| Players to watch: St Étienne’s Wahbi Khazri has 12 L1 goals so far – ten were netted at home. Meanwhile Nîmes’ top league scorer Rachid Alioui has five goals this campaign, and scored in October’s reverse fixture. |
| Stat attack: St Étienne haven’t lost a L1 home game in which they scored at least two goals, since May 2012. |
| Nîmes have conceded L1’s second-highest average number of shots per away game (16). |
| Both teams have scored in just three of Nîmes’ last ten away league fixtures. |
