St Etienne vs Rodez Prediction & Betting Tips (24 May)

After a very average first exercise last year in Ligue 2, AS Saint-Etienne has finally established itself as the candidate for promotion that it must be in this championship. Despite once again quite mediocre starts during the first part of the season, the Greens were able to find the resources to climb back to the top of the ranking and finish in 3rd position in this championship. However, Olivier Dall'Oglio's men would undoubtedly have hoped to seize one of the first two places in this championship which would have been synonymous with direct accession to the elite. But the Forez players missed the boat several times by not winning any of their last 3 meetings against Guingamp 2-2, Rodez precisely 1-1 and finally Quevilly Rouen Métropole 2-1 which was already relegated. Rodez, from his side, has already passed a round of play-offs on Tuesday evening which should undoubtedly become part of the club's legend.

Long ahead on the scoreboard against Paris FC, Raf was finally joined on the wire by the capital club 2-2 and he had to go through an incredible penalty shootout to win. Because despite their first 3 failures in this session, the Aveyronnais ended up winning thanks in particular to the exploits of their young goalkeeper Jaouen 3-2 tab. During the regular season, Didier Santini's players took 4th place in the rankings. They also ended with a draw in Saint-Etienne, 1-1, and with a great victory against AC Ajaccio 2-0.

Among the Greens, winger Diarra, replacement striker Wadji and little-used young midfielder Cheick Fall will still not be able to hold their place in this very important match. Midfielder Monconduit is back, like starting goalkeeper Larsonneur, after missing the trip to Quevilly last week. Olivier Dall Oglio should once again rely on the excellent winger Cardona (8 goals and 3 assists) who was one of the big players in the Greens' good second half of the season.

The no less valuable Chambost (6 goals, 6 assists) and Cafaro (4 goals, 8 assists) as well as the striker Sissoko (12 goals) will also be available.
