Both Adrien Thomasson and Alexander Djiku were banned for the hosts. But they were still able to match les Verts in front of the home crowd.
A man to watch out for in the home team will be experienced striker Kevin Gameiro. Who returned to the club in the summer transfer window.
St Etienne, on the other hand, will be without Gabriel Silva, Yvann Macon, Alpha Sissoko and Aimen Moueffek, and seeing as key forward Wahbi Khazri is on international duty with Tunisia. We believe punters from around the world can find value in betting on the home side.

Strasbourg vs Saint-Etienne Live:
The previous league match featuring these teams was a Ligue 1 match of day 20 on 17/01/2021 which ended with Strasbourg 1-0 St Etienne.
On that day, Strasbourg had 40% possession and 15 shots on goal with 3 of those on target. Their only player to score is Ludovic Ajorque (29′).
For their opponents, St Etienne had 8 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. This match was led by Antony Gautier.
Not much of a selection problem, with the only fitness issue Strasbourg coach Julien Stéphan having to deal with being a mostly intact group of players. Karol Fila (Tear in abductor muscle) will miss.
The suspended players serving bans for this game are Alexander Djiku and Adrien Thomasson.
With a completely healthy group available to choose from, St Etienne boss Claude Puel is not having any fitness issues ahead of this clash.
Here, we think that St Etienne need to put in a lot of effort to score against this Strasbourg side which we think should be enough to score at the end there and go ahead.
Having said that, we expect a very even match with a 1-0 lead for Strasbourg at the full-time whistle.
