St Etienne vs Nantes


Match Preview

After winning promotion to Ligue 2 through the play-offs last season, the hosts have struggled in the top flight.


After a disappointing start to the campaign, which saw St Etienne win just four of their opening 15 games, Les Verts sacked coach Olivier Dall'Oglio in December.


The former Rennes defender was replaced at the club by Norwegian coach Eirik Horneland, who got off to a winning start with a 3-1 win over Reims in his first game in charge in early January.


Horneland's men travelled to the capital last time out to take on defending champions Paris Saint-Germain, and the visitors had to settle for a 2-1 defeat at the Parc des Princes.


It is too early to say whether the first two games can be described as the new manager's first successes at the club, but the fans will be hoping that the positive performances can continue for the foreseeable future.
