In my opinion St.Etienne have really good chances to make at least one point in today's match up.

St.Etienne had very poor start of the season, but now they are solid - they didn't lost in 5 of last 6 matches. Guests failed to win in last two matches, but that was extremely undeserved. They lost on away against Guingamp, but really shouldn't: expected goals scored for St.Etienne 1.51, expected goals scored for Guingamp 1.46. In last round they had draw at home against Grenoble, but St.Etienne reall should win in that game: expected goals scored for St.Etienne 2.67, for Grenoble 0.64. Sochaux coming for this game after loss on away against Valenciennes. For sure their confidence is not on the highest possible level.

St.Etienne don't have problems with creativity - they scored 18 goals in 10 matches, but so far their main problem was defensive formation. Today guests manager Laurent Batlles have great information - two key central defenders Sow & Giraudon are available again and for sure that will have very good impact on their stability at the back. In addition to that Sochaux key left winger Do Couto(2 goals & 1 assist) is unavailable today.

On those circumstances I can imagine at least one point for St.Etienne today.

在我看来，圣埃蒂安有很好的机会在今天的比赛中至少拿到一分。

圣埃蒂安本赛季开局非常糟糕，但现在他们很稳定——他们在过去 6 场比赛中5没有输过 。客队在最近两场比赛中都未能取胜，但这是非常不应该的。他们在客场对阵甘冈时输了，但实际上不应该：圣埃蒂安的预期进球数为 1.51，甘冈的预期进球数为 1.46。上轮他们在主场战平格勒诺布尔，但圣艾蒂安应该在那场比赛中获胜：圣艾蒂安的预期进球数为 2.67，格勒诺布尔的预期进球数为 0.64。索肖在客场输给瓦朗谢讷后参加了这场比赛。可以肯定的是，他们的信心并没有达到最高水平。

圣埃蒂安在创造力方面没有问题——他们在 10 场比赛中打进 18 球，但到目前为止，他们的主要问题是防守阵型。今天，客队经理劳伦特·巴特列斯（Laurent Batlles）有很多信息 - 两名关键的中后卫索夫和吉罗东再次上场肯定会对他们后防线的稳定性产生很好的影响。此外，索肖关键左翼边锋多库托（2球1助攻）今天无法上场。

在这种情况下，我预测今天圣艾蒂安至少得一分。
