Saint-Étienne vs Nancy (4 December 2026, Ligue 2): match facts, H2H and recent form

Saint‑Étienne head into the clash at home as league leaders, having amassed 15 points from five victories and a single loss while boasting a dominant 17‑6 goal difference. Nancy sit in tenth place with seven points, their record of two wins, one draw and three defeats reflected in a modest 4‑4 tally. The gap between the two sides is stark – Saint‑Étienne are eight points clear and enjoy a superior attack, whereas Nancy will need to tighten up defensively to have any chance of upsetting the table‑topping hosts. A win for the visitors would be a rare boost in their mid‑table scramble, but Saint‑Étienne’s unbeaten run this season suggests they will look to extend their lead at the summit.
