PSG vs St Etienne
France Ligue 1
Date: Friday, September 9, 2016
Start: 19pm BST
Parc des Princes (Paris).

Is PSG coach Unai Emery already under pressure? The champions have already lost in Ligue 1, losing 3-1 to Monaco in the last match. They also have an interesting Champions League game against Arsenal next week, which follows this game. But for now all eyes will be on PSG and how they can bounce back. Of course, they lost David Luiz to Chelsea, but before the transfer Emery had it in mind that Luiz would not be part of PSG's future plans anyway. Before the disaster in Monaco, the club had not conceded in their first two games and the aim here will be to do a professional job.

St Etienne have won 1 draw 1 and lost 1 since the start of the season. The good news is that they are undefeated in their last two games, although the last game was seen as a disappointment as they drew 0-0 with Toulouse at home.

PSG vs St Etienne Head to Head

The recent encounter is not easy to read for the visiting team, where they lost to PSG in the last five games. PSG have scored 9 goals in their last two home games against Etienne, conceding just one goal. From the last ten games there is a 50/50 chance of over 2,5 goals. Of the last six matches they played, PSG only failed once and scored at least 2 goals in that match.

PSG v St Etienne: prediction

PSG were never a great team when they had a Champions League game a few days after a league game. But they have improved their mental strength significantly over the years and should be able to win this match. However, this does not mean that you will have a large margin. Etienne has shown that they are not easy to convince and that they will sometimes have opportunities and possession of the ball, but PSG will be very strong and should add the three points with a professional victory, although nothing spectacular.
