Saint-Etienne vs Toulouse Preview
Saint-Etienne have not been doing well in Ligue 1 action at all recently, but they did manage to pick up a confidence boosting win against Nimes in the Coupe De France. Due to their bad league form though, Les Verts are only one point above the bottom three and are surprisingly relegation candidates.
Les Verts have also had to deal with some disciplinary problems recently too. Alexander Søderlund and Stéphane Ruffier remain suspended for this big game, while Loic Perrin is injured. Robert Beric is expected to play up front after scoring last week.
Toulouse have not been very good in Ligue 1 either, and are actually one place and one point below their opponents. Like Saint-Etienne, Toulouse also picked up a win in the Coupe de France, 1-0 against Nice, but then lost 4-2 to Rennes in the French League Cup.
The main injury news for Toulouse surrounds Francois Moubandje who is a doubt for this contest. Christopher Jullien and Giannelli Imbula both missed out on the win over Nice because of suspension and should come back in to the team here.

Saint-Etienne vs Toulouse Prediction
Toulouse must have thought they had turned a corner after the 1-0 Coupe de France win over Nice, but they then went and lost in the French League Cup to Rennes. Neither of these sides will have expected to be in a relegation battle when this season began, so a win is crucial for both.
In terms of the last few Ligue 1 fixtures, Saint-Etienne lost 4-0 to Monaco and followed that up with a 2-1 loss at Guingamp before the winter break. Toulouse have lost their last two Ligue 1 games too, 2-1 to Strasbourg and Lyon.
Toulouse have lost their last 4 away matches in Ligue 1, which would suggest they will lose again here. Then again, Saint-Etienne have failed to win their last 10 matches in Ligue 1, so this promises to be a cagey game.
The tip is for Saint-Etienne to claim an edgey win, but there are not likely to be many goals at all. The return of Pogba and Hamouma will give Saint-Etienne a big boost that could bouy them to a win.

A lot of the recent matches between the two sides have ended in draws. Of the last 6 matches between Saint-Etienne and Toulouse in Ligue 1, 4 of them have been drawn. 3 of those were 0-0 too, so these sides are not used to serving up goalfests against each other.
One of those 0-0 draws was the meeting between the two sides earlier this season. It was a stalemate back in late October but Saint-Etienne will hope to put their home advantage to good use this time around.
