THE’AS Saint-Etienne knows how to turn the tide. If Claude Puel’s team have conceded the opener 12 times in Ligue 1 Uber Eats this season, more than any other team, they have nevertheless managed to avoid defeat six times in this case (1 success, 5 draws). Which is also the highest total since the start of this 2021/2022 fiscal year. And this strength of character has been confirmed recently as the Greens changed the course of their last three meetings, against Angers (2-2), Metz (1-1) and Clermont (3-2). In this category, the Forez club is followed by Angers SCO. The latter reversed five of the six games where he conceded the first goal (1 victory and 4 draws).
Behind PSG
Regarding the points gleaned after conceding the first goal, this time we find Paris Saint-Germain at the top of the list. The capital club has managed to avoid a setback four times, pocketing 12 points (4 wins). No team is doing better this season. But in this category, ASSE also ranks well. With eight points obtained – out of nine on the clock – after having cracked first (1 victory and 5 draws), Saint-Etienne ranks just behind PSG. The podium was completed by SCO Angers (1 win and 4 draws), Olympique de Marseille (2 wins and 1 draw) and OGC Nice (2 wins and 1 draw), each with 7 points collected.
