Match description
Saint-Étienne is the clear favorite: the visitors sit 2nd in the table with 16 wins and 50 goals scored, while Nancy have only 7 wins and 24 goals. In the last 5 matches Saint-Étienne scored 11 goals and won 4 times, averaging 2.6 points per match in that period, whereas Nancy have 0 wins, 3 goals and average 0.6 points per match. The visitors generate more high-quality chances — on average 4.57 shots on target away and 1.39 xG with an 11% conversion rate, while Nancy at home have 3.29 shots on target, 1.41 xG but only a 6% conversion and average 0.79 goals per match, indicating finishing issues. Defensively Nancy concede 1.5 goals on average at home and have conceded 8 goals in the last 5 matches, whereas Saint-Étienne concede 1.07 goals away on average and only 1 goal in the last 5 fixtures, with the visitors’ clean sheet rate at 43% versus 29% for the hosts. Considering the edge in efficiency (11% vs 6%), possession (56% vs 47%) and form (2.6 points per match vs 0.6), I predict a Saint-Étienne win.
