Our Prediction for Saint-Étienne vs Lille
"Les Verts" have plenty of reasons to take pride in their history. However, their 2013 Coupe de la Ligue title remains the only trophy they've claimed in recent decades. In fact, last season they played in Ligue 2 but managed to earn promotion by finishing third. Meanwhile, "Les Dogues" secured fourth place in the top division last spring.
Lille, now coached by Bruno Génésio instead of Paulo Fonseca, featured in the Champions League qualification rounds. They displayed resilience, securing a draw while down a man in extra time in Istanbul, thus eliminating Fenerbahçe. They then found it easier against Slavia Prague, winning 2-0 at home and losing 1-2 away. The sale of Yoro didn’t prove costly; in fact, the proceeds allowed them to bring in new talent such as Meunier, Sahraoui, Mukau, and Bakker. Saint-Étienne also made some acquisitions, though less high-profile, with Bordeaux receiving €6 million for Davitashvili.
In Ligue 1, Lille won 2-0 against both Reims and Angers before losing at home to PSG, the reigning champions. Saint-Étienne, however, has had no success thus far—no goals and no points. They suffered narrow defeats to Monaco (0-1), conceded two against Le Havre, and were thrashed 0-4 by Brest.
