The fourth round of the French championship in Ligue 1 will be opened by an encounter between PSG and Saint-Etienne. In this couple, bookmakers are on the side of the team from the capital, of course, which is showing terrific shape and efficiency on the start of the season already. Whereas it should be noticed, that Saint-Etienne are in a perfect order right now as well, the team practically doesn’t concede in their net, although the Greens will probably not keep their goal shut with PSG.
PSG already have a trophy this season: the team defeated Monaco with a score of 2:1 and won the Super Cup of France. After that, the red-and blues confidently took care of Amiens, Guingamp, Toulouse, scoring 11 overall goals in three rounds, conceding only two. PSG are on the first place in the tournament table, the team is ahead of Monaco and Saint-Etienne by secondary indicators.
Saint-Etienne within 2017-18 Ligue 1 season have not conceded a single goal yet: 1:0 with Nice and Cannes, 3:0 with Amiens. They have nine points in the asset, the goal difference is 5:0, the third position in peloton after PSG and Monaco. The shape is great, defense performance is perfect,, but the Greens haven’t played with the Parisians’ level teams yet. Whereas there is a feeling, that Saint-Etienne will give battle to the future competitors and if they’ll lose, it wouldn’t be very big.
PSG are considered clear favorites of the tournament, the team has the strongest squad, but not every match can be won with -3.5 handicap. Saint-Etienne also aren’t a weak team. They will fight for points even in Paris, therefore, one may expect a very interesting match, real battle.
Prediction for the match: Under 4.5 goals in the match
