Saint-Etienne

Prediction

  • Both Stade Brestois and Saint-Étienne are hoping to get points on the board this season, with both sides losing both of their first two matches in Ligue 1 this season.
  • Since their return to Ligue 1 in the 2019/20 season, Brest have lost just one of their six meetings with St Etienne, but that was the most recent in April 2022.
  • Defeated by Marseille and Lens, Brest could be starting a Ligue 1 season with three defeats for only the second time in their history, after their very first campaign in 1979/80, a season they finished bottom.
