Guingamp – Saint Etienne

Guingaux will host a daunting trip for league leaders Saint‑Étienne at the Stade de Roudourou, a clash that pits the table‑topping side on 22 points against a struggling Guingamp sitting 13th with just eight. Saint‑Étienne’s dominant record – seven wins, one draw and a solitary loss, and a +14 goal difference (22‑8) – starkly contrasts with Guingamp’s modest tally of two victories, two draws and five defeats, leaving them with a negative -4 margin (11‑15). The hosts will be looking to close the gap from the bottom half, hoping to turn their two‑win form into something more consistent, while the visitors will aim to extend their lead at the summit. Historically, the disparity in points and goal‑difference suggests Saint‑Étienne enter as clear favourites, but a home crowd at Roudourou could make the encounter anything but routine.
