Stade Geoffroy-Guichard - Saint-Ètienne
St Etienne have lost just two of their last five Ligue 1 games (W2 D1), after having lost four of their first five this season (W1).
Strasbourg have lost two of their last three Ligue 1 matches (W1), more than in their first seven this season (1 - W2 D4).
St Etienne have won three of their five Ligue 1 home games in 2024-25 (L2), just one win less than over the whole of their previous top-flight season in 2021-22 (4 - D6 L9). Nine of the ten points taken by St Etienne this season in the top-flight were at home.
St Etienne will host Strasbourg in Ligue 1 for the first time since February 20, 2022, when they drew 2-2. ASSE are unbeaten in their last five home games against RSCA in the top-flight (W3 D2).
St Etienne have fewer than 10 points after nine games in a Ligue 1 season for the second consecutive time (4 in 2021/22, 7 in 2024/25), a situation that had never occurred in their previous 16 seasons in the top-flight.
Strasbourg have 13 points this season in Ligue 1, their highest tally after nine matches in the top-flight since 2003/04 (14).
St Etienne have two wins and two losses at home this season in Ligue 1 and could achieve three wins after five home games in a single season for the first time since 2018/19 (3).
Strasbourg have won only one away game in Ligue 1 this year (D6 L6), with that coming last March against Nantes (3-1).
