ahead of the Ligue 1 meeting on Saturday. The home side remain in relegation trouble, while the visitors have a breathing space from the relegation zone. Read on to preview our matches, with added betting suggestions.
Both Angers and St Etienne remain on top of the relegation car's return to Saturday's game, with the side desperately needing points to get out of trouble. Angers is in a more precarious position, currently sitting in position 18, although only in the bottom position in the top three with goal difference at this stage.
Last weekend saw a 4-0 blow to Angers by Monaco champions so hopefully the party's confidence will be at its lowest. The next match is very important for Angers, with matches against the likes of Lille, and Caen who will come before the end of March. Thankfully, with the bottom of the division tight enough with 13 games left to play, they have the best chance anyone can do to avoid danger.
Karl Ekambi's shop has been one of the few bright spots for Angers this season with the striker pocketing 11 goals so far. He needs to continue form to keep his team in the top division in May.
St Etienne meanwhile had some difficult months and they are now 14th with 30 points, five above Angers. At the weekend they managed an impressive 2-2 draw with Marseille flying high, which followed two excellent wins over Caen and Amiens.
Saturday's match will definitely be what they call the equipment they need to get, though its shape is unpredictable during this campaign. They have struggled to reach the goal, found the net only as much as 26 times, and have reached the top 40 so far.
We saw the home side get up a bit upset here to inform Angers victory supporters in the full time market.
