Another test for the leader of Saint-Etienne. After brilliantly taking the passing exam at the Vélodrome, dominating OM at home, for the first time in ages, ASSE is this Sunday, visiting the Loire, for face FC Nantes. And try to regain first place in Ligue 1, abandoned at Stade Rennais, winner of Monaco (2-1), this Saturday.
The ASSE leader in danger against FC Nantes?
The strength of the Greens, winner three times in as many matches played this season, will it be put to the test this Sunday? It could be, because the bookmakers make Nantes their favorites, and winners at the average odds of 2.35 to one. The draw is 3.2 and the victory of Claude Puel’s men is a little more uncertain, at 3.3 to one. Two scenarios dominate more than the others, in the analysis made of the debates: either Nantes wins 1-0, to 5.96, or – and this is the most envisaged of the two – the two formations leave in a draw. 1-1, which is worth an odds of 5.23.
If not Edmond, then maybe Moses Simon
The people of Nantes have a little more offensive arguments to oppose, among the six national operators that we have consulted. Only Renaud Emond, first of all, shouldn’t start from the kickoff. The odds of a goal for him are 3.3. If not him, then maybe Moses Simon, at 3.8. And in the Saint-Etienne camp, the fit man at the start of the season, Romain Hamouma, is the one with the best chances; scorer at 3.93 average. FC Nantes – ASSE is scheduled this Sunday afternoon, from 5 p.m.
