Gent vs St Etienne betting tips
These two have only played a head-to-head duel in their recent history. It was a friendly match, which ended with Ghent 2-0 win. This game will not affect the game in any way, that this match will be their first competitive match ever. St Etienne has not started this season in a good way because they have only 5 points from 5 games played. Both teams are struggling to defend their goal, but with a bad attack of St Etienne this season, we can not easily predict the goals scored on both ends. Both teams are looking to get as good as possible result in the hope of achieving the highest possible finish in their group I. Looking at all this, combining poor form St Etienne with better Ghent beginning of the season, I can see this match to end in a home win.
Prediction
After a series of summer signings, Gent were in impressive form of late and their three front are all among the objectives, so that the hosts have reason to be confident.
Saint-Etienne, however, are winless in four since the victory at Dijon League season opening day 1 and still keep a clean sheet.
Visitors will have to improve their recent performance to get a result against a team that Ghent will fancy their chances of escaping the group.
Prediction:
Gent 2-1 Saint-Etienne
