Saint-Etienne vs Angers Prediction and Betting Tips | February 22nd 2025

Saint-Etienne will host Angers at the Stade Geoffroy Guichard on Saturday in another round of the 2024-25 Ligue 1 campaign. The hosts will be desperate to get a result to end their winless run and avoid dropping to the bottom of the league table by the end of the matchday.

Saint-Etienne were on the receiving end of a 5-1 thrashing from Olympique Marseille last weekend, marking their fourth loss of the year and extending their winless run to six games. The hosts have now lost 14 of their 22 league games and are merely three points above last-placed Montpellier.

Angers are five places and eight points above Saturday's hosts and are in much better form, having won six of their nine competitive games since the start of the year. The visitors picked up a hard-fought 1-0 win over Stade Reims in their last league game thanks to a brilliant free-kick from Farid El Melali and will look to get a result to potentially move into the top half of the table in the coming weeks.

Saint-Etienne vs Angers Prediction

Both teams are closely matched going into the weekend and Sainté will need to be at their best to pick up a win. They will, however, need to be much more solid defensively to avoid defeat.

Le SCO should be able to force a draw against a side in much worse form and will be boosted by their decent away form in the league.

Prediction: Saint-Etienne 1-1 Angers
