Strasbourg have 54 points after 31 Ligue 1 2024-25 matches, their highest tally at this stage of the competition over the last 40 years.
Strasbourg have not lost any of their last 11 Ligue 1 matches (W8 D3), equalling their longest unbeaten run in the 21st century in the top flight, dating back to February-April 2022 (11). The Strasbourg side have lost just one match in 2025, with only Barcelona and Roma (unbeaten) doing better among clubs in the top five European leagues (6 other teams also have just one defeat).
St Etienne have won just one of their last 23 Ligue 1 away games (6N 16D), and that was at Montpellier on 16 March (2-0 then victory on a green carpet).
Strasbourg have won each of their last three Ligue 1 games against St Etienne, last winning four consecutive home matches against the same opponent in the top-flight in 2005 (4 v Caen in a run that began in 1993).
Strasbourg haven’t lost any of their last 10 Ligue 1 games (W7 D3) and could equal their longest unbeaten run in the 21st century in the top-flight (11 in February-April 2022 – W5 D6). RCSA have conceded just 10 goals in the top-flight this year, at least four fewer than any other team.
St Etienne haven’t lost either of their last two Ligue 1 games (W1 D1) and could go three games unbeaten for the first time since March 2022 (3).
Strasbourg haven’t lost any of of their last eight Ligue 1 home games (W5 D3) and could equal their longest such run in the top-flight over the last 20 seasons (9 in January-May 2022).
St Etienne have conceded 41 away goals in Ligue 1 2024-25; already their highest tally in a single season since 1965-66 (41) and five more than Lorient at the end of the 2023-24 season, who had the worst record last term.
