St Etienne vs Valenciennes Predictions and Top Betting Tips

St Etienne vs Valenciennes will be an interesting game and we have high expectations.

Total Goals Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals

St Etienne have had a tough start but they are starting to find the right form and we expect more from them in this game. They are a strong home side and we think that they will start scoring more goals like before. After all, Valenciennes are one of the weakest teams in the league right now and they typically concede a lot of goals.

Match Result Prediction: St Etienne to Win

We think that St Etienne will win this game at all costs and the odds are fairly good for a single bet. Valenciennes had serious problems in the previous season and we generally did not think that they have much to offer in the new campaign. Their results have been inconsistent since the start but the first couple of games showed that the team is very weak defensively. They conceded 7 goals in two matches.

Correct Score Prediction: 3-0 to St Etienne

We think that it is about time for St Etienne to keep a clean sheet in the new season. They conceded in every single game since the start but Valenciennes are one of the weakest teams in attack. When we compare the St Etienne vs Valenciennes line ups, we think that there is a huge difference in class between the two teams right now. The home side should have a solid advantage on paper.

St Etienne vs Valenciennes Team Previews

St Etienne Preview

We never thought that St Etienne will remain in the lower leagues for this long but the team has definitely not been good lately. They barely finished in the middle of the table last season and the main problem was their defense. They had the absolute best attack in the league and still finished far from the top. That was because of the fact that they had the 3rd worst defense.

Valenciennes Preview

Valenciennes played an absolutely terrible season and they barely survived to be in Ligue 2 for another season. The team finished with equal points to the last team in the relegation zone and only survived due to their better goal difference. Their defense has always been quite good but their attack has been the big issue. You cannot achieve much by scoring an average of a single goal per game.
