2 Week PREVIEW : AS SAINT-ETIENNE - MONTPELLIER HÉRAULT SC Feature Preview AS Saint-Etienne must redress a worrying run of form when they host Montpellier Hérault SC on Saturday if they hope to remain in contention for a European qualifying place. Les Verts were in fourth place - synonymous with a UEFA Europa League spot - following their Week triumph in Bordeaux, and were still there two games later. However, their - victory over Les Girondins is their last maximum points haul in five league outings, and the three points they have picked up since mean they came into the weekend clinging on to eighth place, four points adrift of fourth place, now occupied by their bitter rivals Olympique Lyonnais. "Things can change so quickly in football. It's certain that we didn't show anything at all in this game - people must be asking themselves which of the two teams is playing for a place in Europe," said captain Loïc Perrin following last weekend's - defeat at En Avant Guingamp, Saint-Etienne's fourth loss in their last five competitive fixtures. "We have to bounce back quickly. I still believe we can do it. There are eight games left, a lot of points to pick up, and there is not much between the teams in the table, so I'm still confident. We're just going to have to produce more." Coach Christophe Galtier, whose side were ten points better off at the same stage last season, added: "We gave them everything they needed to get their confidence back. I think we prepared well for the game, but there's what you do during the week and the reality of the match. As well as not doing anything going forward, we defended very badly. Guingamp deserved their win and we helped them. Very few of the players that played tonight showed the desire to be picked again. We have no excuses. We're going to have to change our attitude if we want to qualify for Europe." UEFA Champions League participants following their surprise - title win, Montpellier have no European ambitions this term, and their own worrying slump means they have to be wary that their seven-season stay in the top flight does not come to an end. Just three points separate Frédéric Hantz's men from the Ligue relegation zone after a two-game winless run - albeit including a goalless draw at freshly-crowned champions Paris Saint-Germain - saw the buffer between themselves and the bottom three shrink from a far more healthy six points. "Perhaps, sub-consciously, we thought we had done the hard work," defender Jérôme Roussillon conceded. "But that's football. Nothing can ever be taken for granted, particularly this season. We can only count on ourselves and try to take the points against Saint-Etienne on Saturday. " There is hope yet that Hantz can steer them to safety. In his eight games in charge, the former SC Bastia boss has revived the club's flagging fortunes, and his side would be fifth if the season had started when Hantz took over eight games ago. However, following the - defeat at home to OGC Nice last week, he remains aware there is still much work to be done to assure top-flight survival. "There's frustration as we weren't rewarded for our first half. The match was decided then when we lacked precision. We faced Nice at the wrong time as they've got big players back and had just beaten Troyes," the Montpellier coach, whose team are unbeaten in four away games, explained. "It's a good reminder to us that we'll be fighting relegation to the end. A good performance would have /8/ Ligue de Football Professionnel - / - Ligue.com
