Monaco’s struggles to continue against Saint Etienne

On Friday night Saint-Etienne host struggling Monaco in Ligue One, as the visitors look to pick up just their second league win of the campaign.

Saint Etienne have made a mixed start to their Ligue One campaign, having picked up 12 points from their opening seven league outings. They have been hard to beat having lost three of their last 23 Ligue One outings.

However, the home side has now recorded consecutive Ligue One games against Caen and last time out Toulouse. Their recent league games have relatively high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in five of their last eight league outings.

Saint Etienne have a decent recent home record, having lost just one of their last 12 home outings. The home side has also won three of their last four games on home soil in Ligue One, having scored at least two goals in all three victories.

Monaco have made a poor start to their Ligue One campaign, having failed to win in their last six games in the French top-flight. That poor start to the league season has left the team from the principality in the relegation play-off spot.

Despite a poor start to their Ligue One campaign, Monaco have lost just five of their last 30 Ligue One outings.

Last time out, Leonardo Jardim’s side suffered a 1-0 home defeat against Angers. The game was Monaco’s third straight game that had produced under 2.5 goals.

Monaco have a poor recent record on their travels in the French Ligue One, winning just three of their last eight games on their travels. The visitors recent away games in the French top-flight have been high scoring with over 2.5 goals scored in six of their last seven away games.

Forebet predicts that Monaco’s recent woes will continue with Saint Etienne recording a victory in a low scoring encounter.
