St Etienne have not won any of their last 17 Ligue 1 matches against the title holders (D5 L12). Les Verts have also recorded only one clean sheet in their last 32 matches against such opponents in the top-flight (69 goals conceded) but that was in their most recent such match, a 0-0 draw at Lille in March 2022.
