Saint-Etienne play host to Brest in a Ligue 1 clash at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard on Saturday.Saint-Etienne are currently in 13th place, while Brest sit two spots below them in 15th, and neither side seem in any danger of relegation.Saint-Etienne vs Brest Head-to-HeadSaint-Etienne have had an inconsistent season thus far, leading to their current 13th-placed standing in the top-flight.Claude Puel’s side have won three of their last seven games, but they’ve lost the other four, making them one of Ligue 1’s most inconsistent sides.However, their last game was a thriller. They fell 3-2 to champions Paris St. Germain despite taking the lead and then seemingly scoring a last-gasp equalizer on 92 minutes.Meanwhile, Brest have slid down the table following a pretty awful run in 2021 that’s seen them win just three league games since the turn of the year.They’re now winless in their last five, dating back to 3 March.However, Olivier Dall’Oglio’s side did pick up a solid 1-1 draw with high-flying Lens in their most recent match at the weekend.They’ll also be buoyed by the last time they played Saint-Etienne. Brest came out on top in a one-sided match, winning 4-1. In fact, the hosts have not beaten Brest since 2013.Saint-Etienne form guide: W-L-W-W-LBrest form guide: L-D-L-D-D😤 pic.twitter.com/Sgpe5y9cUP— AS Saint-Étienne (@ASSEofficiel) April 21, 2021Saint-Etienne vs Brest Team NewsSaint-EtienneKey man Denis Bouanga is set to miss the game through suspension, while four other players are out with injuries for Claude Puel’s side.Injured: Anthony Modeste, Ryad Boudebouz, Stefan Bajic, Yvann MaconDoubtful: NoneSuspended: Denis BouangaBrestBrest also have striker Steve Mounie and midfielder Jean Lucas Oliveira suspended.
