Guingamp's record over the same period reads five wins, four draws and eleven defeats, with more goals conceded than scored. Their recent home form has been shaky too, including defeats against PAU and RED Star in their last few outings.

That gap in form is one of the biggest factors shaping this match.

Comparative Team Statistics: Guingamp vs Saint Etienne

Head-to-head: a fixture with no clear pattern

These two have swapped results fairly evenly down the years, including a Saint Etienne win and a Guingamp win in their two most recent meetings. Scorelines have often been tight, with several one-goal margins and at least one draw in the mix.

Given how far some of these meetings stretch back, and the different divisions and squads involved, this history says less about current form than the league table does.

Table tells its own story

Saint Etienne currently top the Ligue 2 table after nine games, with seven wins, a draw and just one defeat, conceding only eight goals in that time.

Guingamp sit down in 13th place with two wins from nine matches, having shipped fifteen goals already. It's been a difficult start to the campaign at that end of the table.

Players carrying the goal threat

Saint Etienne have goals spread through the side, with Cardona, Boakye and Ballo all on four goals in seven matches, and Cardona also leading the way with four assists. That kind of balance has helped them top the division.

Guingamp's main outlet has been Bokangu, also on four goals in seven games, but the available numbers don't show the same depth of contributors around him.
