Saint Etienne – Nimes, Ligue 1 Prediction

St. Etienne got rid of the weak form and smashed Caen as a guest with 5-0. Caen’s last, but they were always a rough hosts during the season. And we have to admit that the greens do not perform convincingly in their visits, so this victory was definitely something huge in the background and the bad results before. St. Etienne still have some chances for the top 3, so they have to go on with good performances.

Nimes are anchored in the middle of the table without any chance of getting into Ligue 2, but with almost no chances of getting into top 6. They are in the golden zone, where teams play for nothing till the end of the season. It is also possible, because of this fact the team to have a serious drop of form. In their last 3 games they took only one point. Yes, one of the losses was from PSG, but in the other two games they did not play well against teams from the bottom half of the table and also allowed goals easily.

We think the logic here is just one – a victory for St. Etienne, but since the two teams have recently conceded some very strange goals, we decided to bet on at least two goals for St. Etienne. For them the game is much more important and they are hosts, where they lost only to Lyon, PSG and Lille this season, and these are the three best teams in Ligue 1 at the moment. Prediction – St. Etienne – Over 1.5 goals at 1.75.

• St. Etienne scored at least 2 goals against Nimes in 2 of their last 3 home games
