St Etienne vs. Oleksandriya – Prediction (24.10.2019)

Preview and Teams Comparison.

This will be the first ever meeting between St Etienne and Oleksandria. St Etienne won both games the last time they faced Ukrainian opponents, winning 1-0 away and 3-0 at home against FC Dnipro in the 2015-16 Europa League group stages. St Étienne’s last five UEL fixtures have produced at least one goal in the opening half-hour. Oleksandriya’s league fixtures this term have averaged just 0.55 first-half goals per fixture. St Étienne’s competitive home record vs Ukrainian opposition currently stands at: W2, D1.

St Étienne welcome Oleksandriya unbeaten in each of their last 13 UEFA Europa League (UEL) and UEFA Cup group stage home fixtures (W4, D9). ‘Les Verts’ can kick-off with a healthy degree of confidence, given that they have conceded only 0.43 goals on average across their last seven UEL home games, including qualification legs. St Étienne striker Romain Hamouma has netted three goals in L1 so far, going down as his team’s first scorer in his two goalscoring games to date. Even more encouragingly, St Étienne’s last UEL campaign (in 2016/17) saw them go unbeaten in the group stage (W3, D3). On the domestic front, Ghislain Printant’s men have won each of their last three Ligue 1 (L1) fixtures and, significantly, each of their last four league outings have produced a 1-0 scoreline (W3, L1).

Overall, Oleksandriya have a poor away record in this tournament, being winless in each of their four UEL fixtures on hostile turf (D2, L2) if including qualifiers, while conceding exactly three goals in both losses. Encouragingly, though, they have also scored exactly one goal in six of their previous seven UEL games. Artem Sitalo scored his third competitive goal of the campaign in Oleksandriya’s last UEL outing, with each strike arriving after the break. Furthermore, Oleksandriya have failed to score in just two of their 11 Ukrainian Premier League (UPL) fixtures this season. Scoring first could be a game decider in any case, as the Ukrainian outfit have won six of the seven UPL games to see them score the opening goal (W6, L1).
