Saint-Etienne, France – On Sunday, April 13, 2025,
AS Saint-Etienne and Stade Brestois face off in a crucial Ligue 1 matchup at the Geoffroy-Guichard Stadium. This match marks the 30th encounter between both clubs in the French top flight, where Saint-Etienne hopes to reverse a trend, having lost five of their last six meetings against Brest.
The home team has had a challenging season, accumulating only 23 points from 28 matches, their lowest tally at this stage in the league. In comparison, they had 26 points during the 2021-22 season, which resulted in relegation playoffs. In contrast, Brest currently sits in eighth place with 43 points, having secured a stronger position than last season, despite a slow start.
Recent head-to-head statistics indicate that Saint-Etienne has historically fared better against Brest at home, with only one loss in their last 14 Ligue 1 matches in front of their fans. That solitary defeat, however, was a 2-1 loss back in April 2021.
In the previous encounter this season, Stade Brestois decisively defeated AS Saint-Etienne 4-0, further emphasizing the need for Saint-Etienne to secure points from this game. Coach Laurent Batlles expressed the importance of the match, stating, “We must show character and exploit our home advantage. Every point is critical at this stage of the season.”
Kickoff is scheduled for 8:50 a.m. ET, with the match set to be streamed live for fans unable to attend. As Saint-Etienne strives to improve upon their dismal record this season, all eyes will be on the players as they take the field against a formidable Brest squad.
