Goal Statistics

St Etienne's fans will be hoping for goals on Saturday evening, not least because Red Star FC have conceded in each of their last 5 Ligue 2 outings. A PG of 1.5 for E. Horneland's side suggests that run should continue.

St Etienne's defensive record is very strong, E. Horneland's men having conceded 1 or less in 6 consecutive Ligue 2 games. An average PG rating of 1.4 for Red Star FC makes sense in this context.
