Saint Etienne vs Lens Prediction & Betting Tips - Ligue 1
by Nella Wagah in Ligue 1 Predictions
St. Etienne are getting used to life back in Ligue 1 and there’s some recovery after their horror start. They will be looking to make another big step when they host Lens on Saturday. Les Verts start the weekend placed 13th, seven spots behind Les Sang et Or. Here’s our preview and prediction of the match.
The last two matches have borne some improvement for St. Etienne after losing four of their first five games. Zuriko Davitashvili’s hat trick in the 3-1 win against Auxerre ensured they went to the international break on a high.
That came after an impressive comeback to draw Nantes 2-2. Another win here will go a long way in boosting confidence for the side already on four defeats.
Lens come into this game still holding their unbeaten record in the league this season. Earlier in the campaign they saw their European journey cut short and all they have now are domestic assignments.
While they haven't tasted defeat domestically, Lens have managed just two wins in seven matches. Sixth-placed Lens are the lowest ranking among the undefeated teams – the other two occupy the top two slots.
Lens have been slowed down by too many draws. Heading here, they have five straight, all in Ligue 1. Will Still’s side twice let the lead slip as they drew 2-2 with Strasbourg two weeks ago.
However, with a five-game unbeaten run in this fixture, Lens will be confident of returning to winning ways.

Our Saint Etienne vs Lens Prediction
St. Etienne want to be the first to beat Lens this season even though they don’t have very impressive numbers in this fixture. One thing that stands out going into this game is that both teams aren’t the strongest in attack.
Lens, who come here as the favorites, have averaged 1.0 goals in their Ligue 1 matches this season. St. Etienne’s average is slightly above that and it’s indicative of a low-scoring game ahead. Our prediction for St. Etienne v Lens is for under 2.5 goals.
