H2H: Saint-Étienne vs. Wolfsburg – Score prediction (03.10.2019)

Overview.

St Étienne welcome Wolfsburg unbeaten in each of their last 12 UEFA Europa League (UEL) group stage home fixtures. ‘Les Verts’ can kick-off with a healthy degree of confidence, given that they have registered a clean sheet in four of their last six UEL home games, including qualification legs. Even more encouragingly, St Étienne’s last UEL campaign in 2016/17 saw them remain unbeaten in the group stage. On the domestic front, however, Ghislain Printant’s men have won just two of their opening eight Ligue 1 (L1) fixtures and are still winless at Stade Geoffroy Guichard.

Overall, Wolfsburg have an impressive away record in this tournament, being unbeaten in each of their last five UEL fixtures on hostile turf, while failing to score on just one occasion. They also won on their previous UEL trip to France, back in December 2014. Additionally, if ignoring any extra time, the visitors come into this game hoping to complete a run of ten straight competitive games without a loss. Indeed, Wolfsburg are still unbeaten in their 2019/20 Bundesliga campaign and two of those wins have come on the road.
