Saint-Etienne vs Bordeaux
France – Ligue 1
Date: Saturday 18th September 2021
Kick off at 20:00 UK/ 21:00 CET
Venue: Stade Geoffroy-Guichard.
Here we have a very interesting game because this is a bottom of the table clash and so 3 points will feel like so much more if one of these teams can find the victory.
Between them they have no wins this season, so could this be the first?
Saint-Etienne of course will be at home and they are in 19th place and their last home game finished a 1-1 draw against Lille, indeed the Verts have not been at home for a long time since August 21st so the fans will be happy to welcome their team back.
Bordeaux are bottom of the league with just 2 points but it is early days and one win could take them straight out of the relegation zone depending on other results. The club have lost 3 from 5 games and last weekend they lost 3-2 at home against Lens.
Let’s not make any judgements but both sides will be suffering from a lack of confidence but we do think there is a good advantage for Saint-Etienne.
They are at home of course but now so are their cheering fans, they also have a very good recent history over Bordeaux who have struggled to get results at this ground.
It will be interesting to see if the clubs can score goals given their poor positions they are in because of course history says we get a lot of goals with these teams so we will back that market also.
Look out for Saint-Etienne forward Wahbi Khazri it is worth noting that he scored a hat-trick the last time the teams met and he is a great price to score again at the weekend.
