Reims vs Saint-Étienne prediction, odds and how to watch

Metz looked set for three points after Augustine Boakye struck twice in four minutes, but Saint-Étienne refused to fold and Jessy Deminguet's 89th-minute header earned the visitors a point in a fiery Ligue 2 contest.

Reims dominated possession and territory but could not find a winner against a Montpellier side who equalised through Yaya Fofana and then had a man sent off. A point each, and Reims will feel they left two on the table.

Dunkerque produced a gritty second-half comeback to beat Saint-Étienne 2-1 in Ligue 2, with goals from Khalil Ayari and Souleymane Keita overturning a first-half deficit. It was a result that defied the pre-match evidence completely.

Reims took all three points at Nancy on Friday night, scoring twice in the first half through Yaya Fofana and Chamsedin Kouranfal before holding on as Nancy threw everything at them. Nancy had 19 shots and dominated possession but a chronic lack of cutting edge cost them.

Saint-Étienne arrive at Red Star on Saturday in blistering Ligue 2 form, having won four of their last five. Red Star are no pushover at home, but they will need to be at their competitive best to stop a side that simply does not stop scoring.

Reims have not lost in their last ten Ligue 2 matches and carry genuine momentum into Friday night. Dijon arrive having won just once in their last five, and the gap in form could not be much clearer.

Saint-Étienne arrive at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard on the back of five straight Ligue 2 wins. Rodez have beaten them before and they know it.

Nantes have shipped 11 goals in five Ligue 2 matches and cannot afford another soft performance at home. Reims arrive unbeaten and will fancy this.
