Command Analysis
Saint-Etienne
FranceCurrent form
Saint-Etienne is one of two teams in Ligue 1 that still has zero points. Moreover, Olivier Dall'Oglio's men have not even managed to score once, and have conceded seven goals. Such figures allow them to lead the standings, but only from the bottom.
In the first round, the "greens" gave Monaco a fight, losing with a minimal score of 0:1. In the second match, it seemed that the team would not have problems on its home field with "Le Havre", but lost even more than to the "Monegasques" - 0:2. Well, in the third match there was a crushing fiasco from "Brest" (0:4). In order to fight for the registration in the league, it is impossible to approach the matter in a stump-deck, but for now the hosts cannot do otherwise. With such an attitude, there will be absolutely nothing to catch in the game with the upcoming opponent.

Lille
FranceCurrent form
Lille went into the break with a two-match defeat. First, the team lost in the Champions League qualification to Prague's Slavia (1:2), but thanks to a 2:0 home win, they managed to advance to the final part of the main European club tournament. Then Bruno Genesio's protégés were knocked out by PSG (1:3), suffering their first defeat of the season in the domestic championship, and because of this, they dropped to sixth place in the rankings.
Despite the poor performances in the last two games, the "dogs" have started the new season well and, of course, will make every effort to break the losing streak. The club has everything for this. The players demonstrate team play. Not every team can boast of this. It is impossible to single out anyone in the team yet.
The visitors have serious problems with their starting lineup . Seven players will not appear on the field for various reasons. Samuel Umtiti, who has not yet recovered from a knee injury, and striker Haraldsson, who has a leg injury, are worth mentioning separately. At the same time, the coaching staff is doing a good job of castling, so that the absence of many players was previously not particularly noticeable.
Disqualifications and injuries
Umtiti, Bentaleb, Bakker, Ismaily, Mukau. Zedadka and Haraldsson will not take part in the match due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
Lille have won just one of their last four away games
The visitors have scored for eight games in a row

3.20Tip and bets
Lille showed a good game even in the last two games, in which they suffered a fiasco. In the match with Slavia, they were unlucky in converting their chances, and PSG outplayed the "dogs" with class. If the guests also play with the upcoming opponent, then it is unlikely that there will be any other result than their victory.
With all due respect to Saint-Etienne, this team is very far from its ideal form, and without it, it is impossible even theoretically to imagine that the "greens" will be able to fight for at least one point. A small loss, or at least one goal scored will be akin to a win.
Our prediction is a Lille victory with odds of 1.90
Bet on total
In the last four head-to-head games, no more than two goals were scored in a match. Considering this factor, as well as Saint-Etienne's terrible attacking play, we will bet that this time this total will not be broken. It is possible that Lille will score one goal and go into defense, since many players are missing from the team. Well, the "dogs" can defend well, especially against non-top teams.
Our prediction is total under 2 goals with odds of 2.80
Bet on corners
Based on all of the above, it is clear that in this game we expect the guests of the upcoming match to have an advantage, so we will bet on them making more corner kicks.
Our prediction is Lille will take more corners with odds of 1.65
