Nimes vs Saint-Etienne Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in the France Ligue 2 on Monday, 20 February 2023.
Neither Nimes nor Saint-Etienne have managed to display a positive consistency so far in this campaign. As a result, they both are sitting at 16th and 17th positions in the league standings.
Going on, Saint-Etienne have managed to escape the relegation spot temporarily by sealing back-to-back victories in the past two rounds while Nimes entered the danger zone after recording two winless games.
Saint-Etienne have been the domninant force in the recent history of this match-up. The Greens are currently on a 10-game unbeaten streak against Nimes.
At this venue, the guests are on a five-game unbeaten streak and have won the past three encounters in a row. Three of those five matches had goals under 2.5 ft.
Nimes lost three of the last four league matches at home. Saint-Etienne have recorded the same number of defeats on the road in the past four outings.
However, Saint-Etienne have an upper hand in the recent tradition of this match-up. Therefore, we expect a win for them on Monday at Stade des Antonins.
Three of the past five away matches of Saint-Etienne and three of the last five home matches of Nimes had goals under 2.5 ft. Their recent h2h recordings also have the same number of goal stats of late. Therefore, we expect this match to have goals under 2.5 ft.
Saint-Etienne have won two of the past five road trips. It deserves to mention that they have bagged a clean sheet win in those two fixtures. Since we expect a low-scoring affair with The Greens bagging a win, goals are unlikely to come from both teams.
Both the teams are having a dreadful form in the league since the beginning. Saint-Etienne have a comparatively better form and we like to back them at 2.00 odds here.
While placing it as the main tip, we like to go with the under 2.5 goals option at 1.75 odds as the second tip here.
