Toulouse vs Saint-Etienne Prediction and Betting Tips | December 13th 2024
Round 15 of the French Ligue 1 gets underway on Saturday when Toulouse play host to Saint-Etienne at the Stadium de Toulouse. Olivier Dall'Oglio’s men are one of just four sides yet to win an away game in the league this season and will head into the weekend looking to end this poor run.
Toulouse failed to move into the top half of the Ligue 1 standings as they fell to a 2-0 defeat against AS Monaco at the Stade Louis II last Saturday.
Carles Martínez’s men have now lost two of their most recent three games — with a 2-0 victory over Auxerre on December 1 sandwiched between the two defeats —having won three straight games preceding this run.
With 18 points from 14 matches, Toulouse are currently 10th in the Ligue 1 table but could move into eighth place with all three points on Saturday.
On the other hand, Saint-Etienne continue to struggle for results at the wrong end of the standings as they fell to a 2-0 home loss against Olympique Marseille last time out.
Dall'Oglio’s men have suffered defeat in three of their last four games, with a 1-0 victory over Montpellier on November 23 being the exception.
Saint-Etienne have picked up just 13 points from their 14 league games to sit 16th in the Ligue 1 standings, level on points with 15th-placed Angers.
