Ligue 1 - Lille at St. Etienne
Game Thoughts: It's hard not to forget St. Etienne's relegation from Ligue 1 to Ligue 2 a couple years ago as their fanbase stormed the field chasing players to the dressing room in anger. Flash ahead to their return to Ligue 1 after promotion and that same fanbase might be heating up again as they've lost their opening 3 games and have yet to score a going while conceeding 7. Lille are off to a better start going 2-1-0 with a loss to league leaders PSG and I'd expect a win here prior to getting 4 days off and their first Champions League game on Wednesday. Normally with a shorter rest period we'd avoid such games but that shouldn't be a problem here.
The play is Lille -140
