Both teams in trouble and without wins, yet.

Both have also two of the worst defences of league, St. Etienne suffered nine goals, second from bottom Bordeaux 12 ones ( second worst defence).

In last round Bordeaux, deprived of various starters and with some debuts, was able to recover two goals against lens, but was defeated 3-2 at sixth minute of injury time.

Against Montpellier that just so0ld its two last season topscorers and with importnt misses at the back and in midfield, St. Etienne loose 2-0 without show signs of reaction.

Maybe for this reason trainer should opt today for an offensive 3-4-3, having upfront Khazri ( 2g/7g last season), Hamouma ( 3+2 6g last season) and newcomer Ramirez ( 1sub/ 11g with Livrpool last season), with key midf. Camara ( 5) only on bench for technical reasons. Hosts have an important miss at the back, with Macon ( def.5) out.

Bordeaux remain without last season key def. Mensah ( 3), Baysse, Sissokho ( midf.4), Elis and Maja, newcomer Gregersen ( 1sub) should debut from first minute at the back.

With both teams that needs a win and latest performances in defence for both, plus hosts in an attacking minded style this line should be passed.
