Saint Etienne – Dijon

Saint‑Étienne head into the clash at home as league leaders, sitting atop the table with 15 points from six games – five wins and a solitary loss, and a commanding +11 goal difference (17‑6). Their opponents, Dijon, occupy a precarious 13th place, having gathered six points after a win, three draws and two defeats, with a modest -1 margin (8‑9). The gap between the two sides is stark, Saint‑Étienne enjoying a nine‑point cushion and a far superior offensive record. If the home side can maintain their consistency, they will look to extend their unbeaten run, while Dijon will need to overturn their recent form to climb out of the lower mid‑table. The encounter promises a test of whether the leaders can keep their momentum against a side desperate for points.
