On February 17 2019 at 20:00 at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard in the upcoming regular match of the 25th game week of the French national elite division Ligue 1 the local Saint-Etienne are going to play against their guests from the capital city Paris Saint-Germain. This will be the match where the local ambitious team will be hosted by the absolute leaders of the league who are just a couple of steps from winning the league.
Saint-Etienne seem to feel really great at the current stage of the competition as they take the fourth position in the table with 40 points gained and 35:30 goal difference and they are only three points below the third position. Yet, the current conditions of the Greens are pretty far from perfect. In the previous match they managed to outplay Strasbourg 2:1 while before that they lost to Rennes 0:3 and Lyon 1:2, drew Nantes 1:1 and also hardly outplayed Marseille 2:1.
As for PSG, they have already gained 59 points since the start of the season and take the first place in the standings with two extra games to play. Despite the fact that they are already ten points above their closest rivals, PSG still keep on winning in every match they play. Last weekend they won against Bordeaux 1:0 while before that they easily won against Rennes 4:1, Guingamp 9:0 and Amiens 3:0 and also lost to Lyon 1:2.
This season Saint-Etienne have looked really solid at the domestic stadium and they can show their best even in the matches against the leaders of the league. We think that both teams will attack a lot this time and that there will be a lot of goals scored in the upcoming match.
