Saint Etienne

- Competition: Ligue 2
- Date: 23rd October 2023

- Venue: Stade Francis Le Basser
This weekend, Stade Laval aims to take another step towards their long-awaited return to Ligue 1 football after almost 35 years as they host Saint Etienne.
In a span of only two years, Laval has transformed from a third-tier team to a strong contender for promotion to the first division by the end of this season. Previously finishing in the bottom six of Ligue 2, Les Tango currently dominate the league. After ten games, they hold the top position in the standings, boasting a four-point lead over Auxerre, who sit in second place.
After being relegated from the top division at the end of the 2021-22 season, Saint Etienne is still struggling to make a mark in Ligue 2. Unfortunately, the international break arrived at an inconvenient moment for Laurent Batlles’ team, as they were beginning to find their rhythm. The Greens entered the October break with an impressive record of eight consecutive games without a loss, and a remarkable streak of five games without allowing a single goal.
Laval vs Saint Etienne Betting Tips: Draw & under 2.5 goals
Laval’s performance at home this season has been exceptional. Under the leadership of Olivier Frapolli, the team has triumphed in all five of their home games, making them the only team with a perfect record at home. Additionally, their winning streak of six games leading up to the international break further strengthens our belief that they will continue their unbeaten run at home.
In this league, Saint Etienne ranks as the second-best team when playing away from home. Out of their five away games, they have managed to collect ten points. Only Auxerre, with thirteen points, have been more successful on the road than Laurent Batlles’ squad. Impressively, Saint Etienne has won their last three away matches consecutively.
