Competition: Ligue 1

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 4/5 @ 888sport

Hoping to try and find a route out of the drop zone this weekend, St. Etienne will host Reims on Saturday night in a contest that could see chances at both ends.

Starting with the hosts, last seen putting in another hugely worrying display at the back, it appears that St. Etienne are freefalling their way out of Ligue 1. In their 36 Ligue 1 matchups this season, they have recorded seven wins, 10 draws and 19 defeats, scoring 40 and conceding 74 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 31, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat down in 18th and three points adrift of breaking out of the relegation play-off spot. As for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a 4-2 defeat away at Nice, St. Etienne have lost each of their last three Ligue 1 matchups on the spin. Likewise, along with holding the second-worst defensive tally in Ligue 1, it should also be noted that Saturday’s hosts have seen seven of their previous eight fixtures finish with both teams finding the net.

As for the visitors, slumping back to losing ways last time out, Reims are really trying to find some stability in their final two contests. In their 36 Ligue 1 matchups this season, they have recorded 10 wins, 13 draws and 13 defeats, scoring 39 and conceding 40 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 43, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat down in 12th and with it already confirmed that they will have to settle for a bottom-half finish. As for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a 2-1 loss at home against Lens, Reims have managed to win just a pair of their last eight domestic contests. Likewise, it should also be noted, with Saturday’s guests seeing three of their last four outings finish with both teams finding the net, we’re backing a similar outcome that can be found at attractive odds this weekend.
