2025-05-11 | Game Summary

In a surprising result in the French Ligue 1, Saint-Etienne defeated Stade de Reims 2-0 at the Stade Auguste-Delaune II. The goals came early, with Florien Tardieu scoring in the 3rd minute and Irvin Cardona extending the lead in the 41st minute. Despite having more shots (19 vs. 9), Stade de Reims struggled to convert their chances, managing only 3 shots on target compared to Saint-Etienne's 4. While Stade de Reims had slightly more possession (48.3% vs 51.7%), Saint-Etienne's clinical finishing proved to be the difference. The AI's pre-game prediction favored a Stade de Reims win, making this result an upset.
Considering recent form, Stade de Reims has been inconsistent, alternating between wins and losses, with a recent loss to Nice. Their next match is away against a strong Lille side who are in good form. Saint-Etienne, also struggling for consistency, lost their last two matches before this victory and will host Toulouse next, hoping to build on this win. Looking at the previous head-to-head games, Saint-Etienne won the most recent match, but Stade de Reims had been dominant before that. This win could be a turning point for Saint-Etienne, while Stade de Reims needs to improve their attacking efficiency before facing Lille. The 4-3-3 formation seemed to have worked better than the 5-4-1 formation used by Stade de Reims in this game.
