Saint-Etienne host Strasbourg at the Stade Geoffroy Guichard in round 10 of Ligue 1 on Saturday. Liam Rosenior’s visitors are winless on the road this season.
Saint-Etienne continued to struggle away from home in the top flight as they suffered a 4-2 defeat to Angers at the Stade Raymond Kopa on Saturday. Olivier Dall'Oglio’s side are winless in five Ligue 1 road games this season, losing four, conceding 19 goals and scoring four.
Having gained promotion from the second tier last season, Saint-Etienne have two wins from nine games and are 16th in the points table, three points above rock-bottom Montpellier.
Strasbourg, meanwhile, returned to winning ways in style with a 3-1 victory over Nantes at the Stade de la Meinau on Sunday. That followed a 4-2 defeat at defending champions Paris Saint-Germain, which snapped their four-game unbeaten run.
Strasbourg have 13 points from games and are ninth in the standings but could move level with third-placed Olympique Marseille with all three points.

Saint-Etienne vs Strasbourg Prediction
