Saint Etienne vs KAA Gent
Saint Etienne will meet KAA Gent in the UEFA Europa League group 5 match of Group I this week, where the match will be held at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard. Playing in France, Saint Etienne really hopes this game will be their momentum to get their first win after the previous 4 matches were only able to reap the results of 3 wins and 1 draw.
Saint Etienne with Oleksandria become a team that has not tasted victory, but with 3 points interesting they still have a chance of qualifying for the next round. Because the runner-up team while Wolfsburg has 5 points, so in the remaining 2 qualifying battles this group Saint Etienne still has a greater potential for a Wolfsburg coup than KAA Gent. The visitors lead the standings with 8 points.
KAA Gent indeed performed satisfactorily, notching 2 wins and 2 draws making them only need 1 more winning result to ensure a ticket to the last 32 or a minimum draw provided they were able to defeat Saint Etienne and another match by Oleksandria down against Wolfsburg. The Belgian team is more profitable than Saint Etienne.
But that does not mean KAA Gent can not be defeated, facing this fight L. Depoitre et al failed to win in the last 2 matches. Defeat 3-2 against Antwerp FC then meet again and draw 1-1. While Saint Etienne’s side drew 0-0 at Montpellier HSC in yesterday’s match does not mean bad. Saint Etienne extends their positive trend not losing in the last 11 matches in all competitions.
Seeing the visitors who did not have good capital ahead of important matches like this actually made KAA Gent doubtful and on the other hand the satisfaction of Saint Etienne became its own strengths. It’s likely that the KAA Gent has fallen.
