Saint Etienne vs Angers

●      St Etienne have lost just two of their last 28 games in all competitions against Angers (W14 D12), but one of those two losses came in the reverse fixture this season in Ligue 1 (2-4 at Raymond-Kopa). ASSE conceded twice as many goals in that game as in their previous six in all competitions against SCO (2).

St Etienne are unbeaten in their last 17 home games against Angers in all competitions (W11 D6), their longest unbeaten home record against a team currently in Ligue 1.

St Etienne have conceded 50 goals in Ligue 1 2024-25, while only shipping more after 22 games of a top-flight campaign in 1946-47 (51 - 11th at the end of the season). ASSE also have a goal difference of -30 (20 for, 50 against), their lowest at this stage of a L1 season.

After their win 1-0 against Reims, Angers could record two consecutive wins without conceding a goal in Ligue 1 for the first time since August 2021 (2).

The five games between promoted sides in Ligue 1 this season have all seen the home team take points (W4 D1 - including a 3-1 win for St Etienne over Auxerre in October).
