Saint-Etienne is sixteenth in the standings out of 20. Coach Claude Puel continues to work with a team that is in good shape. The team has recently managed to show a more organized defense on the road. Below is some information about games played earlier. Last time the club Saint-Etienne played against the team of Lens in a home meeting. A gorgeous shootout in the form of an abundance of goals certainly delighted fans. Guests who managed to score more goals won. But that was enough to win. Earlier, 13 days ago, the team had an away match with the Lorient club. The meeting took place in approximately equal playing conditions. Teams exchanged goals, but Lorient was able to score more goals. Teams showed approximately the same level of possession, but luck in this meeting was on the side of hosts.
Genoa started the season ugly and for a long time was in the same position as its current rival. However, the change of the mentor was beneficial to the team. Davide Ballardini immediately began to give results and the griffins managed to escape from the relegation zone. At the moment, the Genoese club is in 14th place in the table with 28 points. From the relegation zone “Genoa” comes off by six points. The handicap may well be considered significant, but so far it can not guarantee anything. The situation of the “griffins” is aggravated by the crisis in which they have been for a long time. Last time they managed to win back in early February, then Napoli was beaten with a score of 2:1. In the last round Genoa scored a 1:1 draw with Udinese, extending the streak without wins to six games.
