Saint-Etienne suffered a heavy loss in their first meeting against Nice this season. In that trip to Allianz Riviera, they lost 8-0.
That outcome has a lot to do with Saint-Etienne having conceded the second-most goals this season. Coming into this game, they conceded in stoppage time to draw 3-3 with Angers and are winless in seven matches.
Saint-Etienne possible starting lineup: Larsonneur; Macon, Batubinsika, Nade, Petrot; Bouchouari, Ekwah, Tardieu; Boakye, Stassin, Davitashvili
Nice possible starting lineup: Bulka; Clauss, Ndayishimiye, Bombito, Dante, Bard; Boudaoui, Santamaria; Guessand, Laborde, Cho
Nice is favored to win this match with a likely scoreline of 2-1 . Such predictions underscore the disparity in team morale and form going into this crucial fixture.
Despite the anticipation surrounding the match's outcome and its implications for both teams' seasons, information regarding live broadcast details or specific lineups remains elusive across several previews. As fans prepare for what promises to be an intense clash at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard, attention will undoubtedly focus on how well Saint-Etienne can respond to past failures against a formidable opponent like Nice.
