FC Lorient vs AS Saint-Étienne Prediction 8 April 2022

The thirty-first matchday of Ligue 1 starts with a fundamental duel of outsiders - Lorient and Saint-Etienne.

At the moment, Lorient have 28 points with goal statistics of 25:48 - this is the sixteenth line of the standings with a minimum margin from the relegation zone. In the previous five matches, Les Merlus were remembered for winning 1:0 against Brest and 2:0 against Clermont, a 0:0 draw with Strasbourg, as well as a fiasco, 1:4, against Lyon and 1:5 against PSG.

Saint-Etienne are only eighteenth, having 27 points with a difference of 31:55 goals scored and conceded. Not so long ago, the Greens got an important 1-0 victory over Metz. However, the confrontations with PSG (1:3), Lille (0:0), Troyes (1:1) and Marseille (264) were much worse for them.

Both teams are focused solely on the result, so they will focus on reliability in defense. We do not think that such an approach to business will have a positive impact on the overall performance.
