Guingamp and Saint-Étienne have met for many seasons and the results have often swung back and forth. Both sides have won at the other's ground, but this time Saint-Étienne have risen to the top of Ligue 2 with 25 points from 10 matches, while Guingamp sit 11th, so this is clearly a game where the away side are the more fancied team. Guingamp's league form is still not settled; they had just lost 1-2 at home before bouncing back with a 2-0 win in their latest match, but overall this season they have already lost 5 games and conceded 15 goals, in contrast to Saint-Étienne, who are on a winning run of 4 league matches and over 10 games have scored 23 and conceded only 8. Their defence is so tight that opponents struggle to break them down. This game is likely to see Saint-Étienne dominate possession and push forward against a Guingamp side that will have to sit deep and wait to counter. If the away team score first, the game will open up even more for them to keep attacking, but if Guingamp can hold out for a long time, the game could stretch into the closing stages. The first thing to watch is how strongly Saint-Étienne can press in the first half.
