Saint Etienne Aim to Maintain Edge Over Red Star

Saint Etienne lead Ligue 2 after eight matches and continue to score at a high rate. Their attack averages 2.6 goals per game while their defence concedes just 1.0 on average. Red Star sit third but manage only 0.7 goals per game at home and have allowed 1.3 there. In the last three head-to-head fixtures Saint Etienne have won two. Red Star enter with four wins in their last five league outings. Saint Etienne have produced three or more total goals in seven of their eight league games so far. The away side’s ability to create chances from open play will test Red Star’s home defence throughout the contest.
