Nantes

Nantes analysis

After 5 rounds, Nantes has a positive ratio of goals scored and goals against. The team sums 7 goals for and 4 conceded.

Nantes has been putting in some good performances lately, with 2 wins and 2 draws in their last 5 matches. They will need to continue to work hard and build on their recent successes if they want to maintain their form and challenge for the best spot possible.

The average shooting on goal for the Nantes team in the league is not the best. There are only 4 per game. This turns out to be another good indication that the team does not usually score many goals or give much work to the opposing goalkeepers.

Nantes is not a team that imposes its rhythms on the field, it usually has a rather counterattacking game: in fact, during this league we see that it has an average ball possession of 41.4%. In the next match against Saint-Étienne a change of attitude on the field will be needed, Nantes will have to try to maintain possession to create goal chances and win.

While Saint-Étienne has only managed to convert 1 of their 407 attacks into goals, Nantes has been much more successful with 430 attacks and 7 goals.

Matthis Abline's life is not being easy in this beginning of his trajectory for his new club. Hired for this season, the player has not been performing well, a fact that was repeated in Nantes last game. Against Angers SCO, once again he failed to score goals, accumulating another bad performance.

Best goalscorer from Nantes

When we analyze the team's attack so far, the competition's performance at the individual level Moses Simon is the player to highlight. Helping Nantes with 2 goals scored this season, the Attacker has been instrumental in achieving positive outcomes.

It should also be noted that 1 of the goals scored by the player were from the penalty spot.

Saint-Étienne

Ligue 1 leaderboard now

With 3 points won, Saint-Étienne is in 17th place on the leaderboard, which leaves the team in the Relegation zone. The team's campaign so far is 1 win against 4 losses, plus 0 draws.

In the 6th round, the team holds the same amount of points that the Auxerre which is just above, in the 16th place.

Saint-Étienne analysis

Currently, in the Ligue 1, Saint-Étienne sums 1 goals for and a total of 15 goals against, after 5 rounds played.

Saint-Étienne is currently struggling to find the back of the net, with a low number of goals scored and a high number of games where they failed to score. This suggests that their attacking play needs to be improved, with a focus on creating better opportunities and converting them into goals.

The outcome of the match promises to be less than positive for the team, which is awaiting a complicated away game and has some less than comforting attacking numbers: only 0.2 goals on average per game in this tournament.

One of the team's signings for the season still seems to be in a slow pace of adaptation. Yunis Abdelhamid played another underwhelming game in the club's last appearance, against Nice. He failed to show the expected security and did not help Saint-Étienne to come out with the victory.

Historical data: Saint-Étienne

With 10 titles won in the history of the tournament, the Saint-Étienne team is one of the competition's top names. The record of the team will impact the final outcome of the match, and it will not be the first time the team has managed to impress their opponents with a win at a time when they are in bad shape.
