Preview Saint-Étienne Ligue 1, Nov 28, 2021

Preview St-Étienne picked up a narrow 1-0 win over Troyes at Stade de l'Aube last weekend to secure back-to-back victories, LDDWW. A remarkable long-range strike from Miguel Trauco (60'), right on the hour mark, rattled the back of the net and sent Claude Puel into euphoria at the sidelines. With the consecutive victories coming on Matchday 13 and 14, after a torrid patch of 12 games without a win, the worst appears to have gone by for under-fire coach, Claude Puel. However, St-Étienne remains at the bottom end of the table in 19th place, having picked up only 12 points after 2W, 6D, & 6L. Having gone four games without defeat, Puel will be aiming for at least a draw on Sunday, considering the arsenal at PSG’s disposal. Evidently, a porous defense leaves St-Étienne in the murky waters of relegation. Le Verts can only muster an average of 1.14 goals per game this season, having scored 16 goals in 14 Ligue 1 games. However, the Greens have conceded a total of 28 goals and are left with a negative goal difference of -12. An average of 2 goals conceded per game. A 4—4—2 formation with Wahbi Khazri and Arnaud Nordin in attack is expected against PSG on Sunday. Romain Hamouma (thigh injury) is ruled out for this fixture alongside Saidou Sow.

Preview PSG are back in the League of Talents after a 2-1 defeat to Manchester City on Wednesday in the UEFA Champions League. PSG's only goal in the defeat came from Mbappe (50’), who was making his 50th appearance in the star-studded arena of champions. Back on the home front, PSG picked up a 3-1 win over the Yellow House, Nantes on Saturday, November 20, at the Parc des Princes to keep the gap ahead of the chasing pack intact. The nine-time Ligue 1 title winners have 37 points after 12W, 1D, & 1L, and are unbeaten in five Ligue 1 games: WDWWW, ahead of this fixture against Saint-Étienne. Mauricio Pochettino is continuously being linked to the vacant managerial role at Manchester United. But earlier in the week, PSG's sporting director, Leonardo, quashed the rumors. We do not want Pochettino to leave. He never asked to leave and no club contacted us in relation to him, said Leonardo. However, the Argentine appears to be low-key interested in the managerial role at United, according to several reputable sources online. A happy Pochettino could appear with the 4—2—3—1 formation against St-Étienne, with Mbappe in attack on Sunday. With Keylor Navas (red card) suspended, Gianluigi Donnarumma is expected in goal. Meanwhile, Sergio Ramos remains short of full fitness.
