The Ligue 1 fixture, Stade Rennais vs. AS Saint-Étienne kicks off at 20:00 (GMT+1) on Saturday, April 30, at Roazhon Park.

Saint-Étienne saw their efforts to make a fast getaway from the relegation-play-off spot thwarted after a 4-1 defeat to AS Monaco at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard last weekend. Le Verts remain in 18th place on the Ligue 1 table, having 31 points from 7W, 10D, and 17L, while looking to return to winning ways, LLWDL. With a number of goal-bound efforts thwarted by the woodwork, Pascal Dupraz will be hoping the wheels of fortune will spin in his favor on Saturday when the Greens take on the Red & Blacks. Only PSG (19) has hit the woodwork more often than St. Etienne (15) this season. The 59-year-old lined up a 3—4—1—2 with Wahbi Khazri, who scored the club’s only goal against Monaco, and Denis Bouanga in attack last Saturday. Pascal Dupraz is expected to keep both shape and personnel intact against Rennes for this weekend's clash.

The Ligue 1 fixture, AS Saint-Étienne vs. AS Monaco, kicks off at 18:00 (GMT+1) on Saturday, April 23, at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard.

Saint Étienne salvaged a point in the mid-week relegation clash following a come-back 2-2 draw against Bordeaux at the Matmut Atlantique. Bordeaux picked up the lead inside the first twenty minutes after a well-struck shot inside the box by Mara (16'). Minutes later, Emile Junior Onana (23') left Bordeaux with a two-goal lead after a fine header. But Denis Bouanga (34') cut the Greens’ two-goal deficit to one before Arnaud Nordin’s 65th-minute leveler left both sides with a point apiece. St. Étienne would like to return to winning ways, DLLWD, on Saturday in a bid to make a late push to leave the relegation play-off spot, where they sit with 31 points from 7W, 10D, and 16L. The Greens are a point adrift of 17th-place Clermont Foot [32 points], and a victory here could see Les Verts move two spots ahead, from 18th to 16th place, if favorable results emerge elsewhere. However, St. Etienne has lost its last two Ligue 1 games against Monaco, conceding seven goals and scoring just one. Pascal Dupraz lined up the 3—4—3 against Bordeaux and could do so again against Monaco on Saturday. Les Verts have no new injury worries following the mid-week clash.

The Ligue 1 fixture, AS Saint-Étienne vs. Olympique de Marseille, kicks off at 20:00 (GMT+1) on Saturday, April 2, at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard.

Saint-Étienne picked up a 1-1 draw against Troyes at the Geoffroy-Guichard on Matchday 29. Lebo Mothiba (18') had tapped in from close range early in the first period before Ryad Boudebouz (67' P.) restored parity from the penalty spot in the second forty-five. The 1-1 draw leaves the Greens with two consecutive draws, DLWDD, and in 18th place, with 27 points from 6W, 9D, and 14L. The Greens are a point short of safety, and an unlikely win over Marseille could move them ahead of seventeenth-placed Clermont Foot [28 points], who face Nantes on Sunday. In what appears to be a turn-around in home form, the Greens are unbeaten in their last four home games [2W, 2D, & 0L], having lost the previous four. Pascal Dupraz, whose sole objective is to avoid the club's relegation, would like to see his side come out with the unbeaten home run intact at the end of Saturday’s clash against Les Olympiens. Saint-Étienne have a goal ratio of 1G/G this season, having scored 29 goals in 29 Ligue 1 games. The club has shipped 51 goals [1.76 goals conceded per game] and have a G.D. of -22. A 3—4—1—2 formation with Wahbi Khazri and Denis Bouanga in attack is expected once again for Saturday’s game. Meanwhile, Romain Hamouma remains doubtful with a wrist injury along with Saidou Sow (sprained ankle).

The League of Talents returns on the first day of the weekend with the game between Les Dogues and Les Verts. This Matchday 28 fixture presents itself after 270 games and 731 goals. Monaco’s Wissam Ben Yedder remains the league’s top scorer with 15 goals, while PSG’s Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi are neck-to-neck with a haul of 10 for the prize of King of Assists. Ligue 1 leaders PSG are 13 points clear at the top of the table, while Bordeaux sits at the bottom. LOSC Lille vs. AS Saint-Étienne kicks off at 21:00 (GMT+1) on Friday, March 11, at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy.

A resurgent Saint-Étienne comes off the back of a 1-0 win over FC Metz. A single goal from Denis Bouanga (52') saw the Greens bag all three points at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard last weekend. Les Verts are out of the bottom-two and sit in 17th place on the Ligue 1 table, having picked up 25 points from 6W, 7D, and 14L. With only one defeat in five games, WWDLW, the Greens are looking to pick up at least a draw on Friday. Pascal Dupraz and Sainté could take the shape of a 3—4—1—2 formation, with Arnaud Nordin and last weekend’s hero, Denis Bouanga, in attack.

The Ligue 1 fixture, Paris Saint-Germain F.C. vs. AS Saint-Étienne kicks off at 21:00 (GMT+1) on Saturday, February 26, at the Parc des Princes.

The Greens picked up a 2-2 draw against Strasbourg last weekend at the Geoffroy-Guichard and remain in 16th place on the Ligue 1 table, having picked up 22 points from 5W, 7D, & 13L. The club is unbeaten in four Ligue 1 games: LWWWD, ahead of this fixture against PSG. Sainté, who have 26 goals and an average goal ratio of 1.04 goals per game after 25 Ligue 1 games, will look to score against PSG on Saturday. The club has conceded 47 goals [1.88 goals per match] and has a G.D. of -21. With only one point separating Sainté and the bottom two, Pascal Dupraz wants his team to put some distance between themselves and the troubled duo. Dupraz could appear with the 3—4—1—2 formation, leaving Khazri, who hit the back of the net against the Racers for his 9th goal of the season, and Denis Bouanga in attack for this fixture against PSG.

Olympique Lyonnais vs. AS Saint-Étienne kicks off at 21:00 (GMT+1) on Friday, January 21, at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais.

St-Étienne picked up a 2-1 defeat to RC Lens on home soil at the weekend, leaving the club with five consecutive defeats in their last five games: LLLLL. New boss, Pascal Dupraz, remains without a league win in three games after Claude Puel was axed following the 5-0 defeat to Rennes. St-Étienne remains at the bottom of the table in 20th place, having picked up only 12 points after 2W, 6D, and 12L. Pascal Dupraz intends to rescue the club from imminent relegation, and picking up an unlikely win on Friday against Lyon could mark the much-anticipated season turnaround. A defensive 5—4—1 formation with Ryad Boudebouz in attack is expected against the Kids on Friday. Sainté will have as many as five players unavailable due to the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations, Cameroon 2021. Meanwhile, Romain Hamouma (thigh injury) remains sidelined alongside Etienne Green.

The Ligue 1 fixture, AS Saint-Étienne vs. Paris Saint-Germain, kicks off at 13:00 (GMT+1) on Sunday, November 28, at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard.

St-Étienne picked up a narrow 1-0 win over Troyes at Stade de l'Aube last weekend to secure back-to-back victories, LDDWW. A remarkable long-range strike from Miguel Trauco (60'), right on the hour mark, rattled the back of the net and sent Claude Puel into euphoria at the sidelines. With the consecutive victories coming on Matchday 13 and 14, after a torrid patch of 12 games without a win, the worst appears to have gone by for under-fire coach, Claude Puel. However, St-Étienne remains at the bottom end of the table in 19th place, having picked up only 12 points after 2W, 6D, & 6L. Having gone four games without defeat, Puel will be aiming for at least a draw on Sunday, considering the arsenal at PSG’s disposal. Evidently, a porous defense leaves St-Étienne in the murky waters of relegation. Le Verts can only muster an average of 1.14 goals per game this season, having scored 16 goals in 14 Ligue 1 games. However, the Greens have conceded a total of 28 goals and are left with a negative goal difference of -12. An average of 2 goals conceded per game. A 4—4—2 formation with Wahbi Khazri and Arnaud Nordin in attack is expected against PSG on Sunday. Romain Hamouma (thigh injury) is ruled out for this fixture alongside Saidou Sow.

The French Ligue 1 fixture, RC Strasbourg Alsace vs. AS Saint-Étienne, kicks off at 14:00 (GMT+1) on Sunday, October 17, at Stade de la Meinau.

Saint-Étienne sits at the very bottom of the table in 20th place, having picked up only 4 points this season. Following the 1-1 draw against Lyon, thanks to a Wahbi Khazri (90’+5 P.) penalty in stoppage time, Saint-Étienne remains without a win this season, 0W, 4D, & 5L. The draw was the first for the club in five games: LLLLD. A close look at the numbers reveals the Green-stripped Ones have 8 goals after nine Ligue 1 games. With an average of 0.89 goals scored per game, Saint-Étienne has conceded 18 goals so far and have a G.D. of -10. Unimpressive, the club has conceded an average of 2 goals in every 90 minutes. Manager Claude Puel is still looking for his first Ligue 1 victory of the season and may line up with Sainté in a 4—2—3—1 formation, leaving Wahbi Khazri in attack. Khazri is the club’s highest goal scorer with four goals to his name. He will be on the hunt for his fifth on Sunday.

The French Ligue 1 fixture, AS St-Etienne vs. Olympique Lyon, kicks off at 19:45 (GMT+1) on Sunday, October 3 at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard.

Having no business with continental football, St-Étienne returns after last weekend’s 3-0 defeat to OGC Nice on home soil. The defeat left the green-striped ones with five consecutive defeats, LLLLL, and at the bottom of the table. In 20th place, and feeling the pressure, Claude Puel understands his grip on the job dangles by a thread. The fans that have called for me to leave? That's just how it is, he said. I've experienced this kind of situation before. It's my duty to protect the interests of my team. Unlike our two previous matches [defeats to Monaco and Bordeaux], we never looked in it against Nice, the 60-year-old Frenchman added. Having only 3 points after 0W, 3D, & 5L, Puel will aim for at least a draw on Sunday in an attempt to gradually steer his side out of the troubled waters. However, with an average of only 0.88 goals scored per game, Saint-Étienne could struggle once again, this time against an attacking-minded Lyon. Behind Clermont Foot with 19, Saint-Etienne is the second-highest conceding side in the league, having conceded 17 goals in eight appearances. On Sunday, Puel will make an attempt to plug the leak in defense with a defensive 5—4—1 formation, or its close variant, a 4—5—1 with Jean-Philippe Krasso playing alone at the top of the design.

The French Ligue 1 fixture, AS Monaco vs. AS Saint-Etienne, kicks off at 18:00 (GMT+1) on Wednesday, September 22, at the 18,523-capacity Stade Louis II.

AS St-Etienne will make the return after Saturday's 2-1 home defeat to Bordeaux at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard. It was the third consecutive defeat (DDLLL) for the white and green wearing side with Wahbi Khazri (73') scoring St-Etienne's only goal. But a brace from Hwang Ui-jo (7' & 80') saw the Marines and Whites crowned winners after the contest of ninety minutes. The defeat leaves the club at the bottom of the Ligue 1 table in 19th place, having picked up only 3 points after six games: 0W, 3D, & 3L. Saint-Etienne have an average of 1 goal scored per game after six games and have conceded 11 goals (1.83 goals-conceded-per-match) over the short length of the season. Manager Claude Puel will be under pressure when he makes his appearance in the dug-out, knowing he must leave the Stade Louis II with a point to reverse the team's ugly run of defeats. The 60-year-old could emerge alongside Sainté with a 3—4—2—1 formation against Monaco on Matchday 7, having Ignacio Ramírez in attack. Wahbi Khazri, who happens to be the club's top scorer with three goals, is expected behind the 24-year-old while playing alongside the skipper, Romain Hamouma.
