Nantes – Saint Etienne

Nantes host a daunting trip for Saint‑Étienne, who sit atop the table with 15 points after five wins and only one loss, boasting a 17‑6 goal difference. The home side, languishing in 17th place with just four points from six games, have managed only one victory and a draw while conceding twelve times. The gulf in form is stark: Saint‑Étienne’s unbeaten run contrasts sharply with Nantes’ struggle to find consistency in the lower reaches of the league. If the current standings hold, the visitors will enter Nantes’ stadium as clear favourites, looking to extend their lead at the summit.
