Saint-Étienne and Bordeaux last played eachother at the Stade Geoffroy-guichard on the 18th of September. Bordeaux took the match by a score of 2 to 1. Ui Jo Hwang struck first for Bordeaux in the 7th minute on a feed from Yacine Adli, then Wahbi Khazri tied it up for Saint-Étienne in the 73rd minute.
Both Denis Bouanga and Mahdi Camara have been the hottest scorers for Saint-Étienne in the last five each having scored 2 goals each. Ui Jo Hwang and M’Baye Niang are the top scorers for Bordeaux in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats
