Grenoble – Saint Etienne

Grenoble host a daunting trip to Saint‑Étienne, entering the fixture in 12th place with just seven points from six games, having scored seven and conceded ten. Their opponents sit atop the table on 15 points, unbeaten in five wins and a single loss, and boast a healthy 17‑6 goal difference. The gap in form is stark, with Saint‑Étienne’s perfect record contrasting sharply with Grenoble’s three defeats already suffered. If Grenoble hope to climb out of the lower mid‑table, they will need to erase a 13‑point deficit and tighten a leaky defence against a side that has yet to drop points this season.
