THE PREDICTION

After earning promotion from the second tier, Lorient will be delighted with how they began life in Ligue 1 after beating Strasbourg 3-1 last weekend and Saint-Etienne – who will contest their first game of the season here – will have to be on their toes from the off against the hungry visitors. Saint-Etienne were one of the leakiest sides in the top tier last season and it remains to be seen whether they have managed to patch things up at the back but don’t expect Lorient to give them any respect here so it could well be worth siding with the visitors to open the scoring.
