Saint-Étienne vs Concarneau Prediction & Preview

Preview

As the France Ligue 2 action continues, Saint-Étienne is set to host Concarneau at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard this Saturday, 06th April. This match marks an intriguing clash in the 31st round of the league with both teams having contrasting fortunes so far. Saint-Étienne, under the guidance of Olivier Dall’Oglio, finds itself in a commendable third position with 51 points. Their form has been impressive recently, securing four wins and one draw from their last five matches. In their latest outing, they managed a solid away win against Valenciennes with a scoreline of 2-0.

On the other side of the pitch stands Concarneau, coached by Stéphane Le Mignan. The team currently struggles in 18th place with just 33 points to its name and has faced difficulties finding form – drawing two and losing three out of their last five games. Their most recent match ended in a disappointing home loss against Angers SCO (2-4), showcasing areas that need improvement.

Historically speaking, these two have met head-to-head only once before on September 23rd last year where Saint-Étienne emerged victorious with a narrow margin (0-1) at Stade Guy Piriou - indicating potential for another tightly contested battle.

When it comes to goalscoring capabilities and defensive solidity; Saint-Etienne averages an impressive tally scoring about 1.8 goals per game while conceding only about 0.3 per game overall – even more formidable at home where they average scoring twice per match and concede merely half a goal on average per game played there. Concarneau's stats tell another story as they manage to net an average of 1.4 goals each game but suffer defensively allowing around an average of about 1 .7 goals against them - numbers which don't improve significantly when playing away.

Considering these aspects along with current forms and positions on league standings lends this matchup quite some anticipation among fans eagerly waiting for what promises to be an engaging encounter.

Bet

Based on both teams' recent performances along with their offensive and defensive records this season; opting for 'Over 2.5' as recommended bet seems promising here given that odds stand at decent value (1 .85). Both sides have shown tendencies towards games involving multiple goals - especially considering Saint-Etienne's strong attacking output especially when playing at home coupled by Concarneau's defensive vulnerabilities might just push total goal count beyond two making 'Over 2 .5' bets worth considering for those looking into placing wagers on this fixture.
