Saint-Etienne — Angers: forecast for the French Championship match
Saint-Etienne has lost its last three matches in the national championship. Will it be possible to interrupt such unsuccessful performances on February 22 in the confrontation with Angers? You will find the answer in our forecast. Which is the best bet to choose?
Command Analysis
Saint-Etienne
FranceCurrent form
Saint-Etienne cannot get out of the crisis. The team has not won six matches in a row — four defeats and two draws. The magic of Eric Horneland's arrival as head coach is not helping. I'm getting worse at playing on my own field with every match. In the first match in January, we managed to win against Reims (3:1), then there was a draw with Nantes (1:1), and after that we lost to Rennes (0:2). Despite such unsuccessful performances lately, the Greens are the favorite, and the upcoming opponent has noticeably improved the game plan.
Disqualifications and injuries
Old, Wadji, Muffek, Appiah are injured and will not appear on the field.
Interesting betting trends
- Saint-Etienne have lost their last three matches.
- The hosts miss 11 matches in a row.
Approximate composition: Larsonnier – Petro, Batubincica, Nade, Cornoud – Bouchouari, Equa, Mouton –Cardona, Stassen, Davitashvili.
Angers
FranceCurrent form
In 2025, we see a completely new Angers. The team is showing amazing results. Nine matches have been played since the beginning of January, and there are six wins, two losses and one draw. The guests reached the quarterfinals of the French Cup, beating Strasbourg 3-1, but the team suffered defeats from Marseille and Lens, which are higher in the ranking, so there's nothing terrible about it. Currently, the relegation zone manages to be ahead by eight points, but before the New Year, the team, as well as the upcoming counterpart, fought to keep their registration in the league.
Disqualifications and injuries
Lepol, Untongi, Arkus, Dieng, and Bumla are injured, while Aholu will miss the match due to suspension.
Interesting betting trends
- Angers have won four of their last five matches on the road.
- In four of the last five meetings, the guests missed
Approximate composition: Fofana – Raolisoa, Bamba, Lefort, Khanin – Capelle, Belkebla – Alevina, Belkdim, El Melali – Niane.

1.72Tip and bets
Until recently, both teams were fighting to keep their registration in Ligue 1, and now only Saint-Etienne is in this status. The Greens, playing on their own field, do not "park" the bus at their gates, but try to put pressure on it, despite who they have to meet with.
Angers knows how to adapt to the style of play dictated by the opponent, and we believe that the guests will accept the conditions of the confrontation against Saint-Etienne, and in this scenario both opponents will be able to distinguish themselves.
Our forecast is that both will score with a coefficient of 1.80
Betting on the outcome
We believe that bookmakers strongly believe in Saint-Etienne and underestimate the power of Angers, which plays great both on the road and on its own field. We are inclined to believe that the guests will not be inferior to the upcoming opponent in the game plan and, at least, will be able to take one away point.
Our forecast is that Angers will not lose with a coefficient of 1.55
Betting on corners
It's clear from our description that we expect intense and dangerous scoring football. So, it is logical to bet on the fact that the rivals will be able to arrange a lot of corners for two.
Our forecast is a total of more than 8.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.77
