Saint Etienne – Guingamp

Saint‑Étienne head into the home fixture brimming with confidence, perched atop the table with 15 points after five wins and just one loss, boasting a commanding 17‑6 goal difference. Guingamp, sitting seventh with eight points from two victories, two draws and two defeats, have scored and conceded nine each, reflecting a midfield‑level balance that will be tested against the league leaders. The gap of seven points underscores the challenge for the Breton side, which must tighten up defensively if they hope to dent Saint‑Étienne’s unbeaten run. A positive result for Guingamp could see them surge into the top six, while any slip‑up for the hosts would tighten the race at the summit.
