AI match recap
Saint-Étienne arrive at Roudourou with the stronger early-season body of work and the momentum of a team setting the pace at the top. Guingamp have just regained some belief, but Ripoll must rework his plans without Koffi and with N’Landu unavailable. The home side’s direct transitions and set-pieces are their clearest route to unsettling the visitors. Saint-Étienne’s goalkeeper situation gives Guingamp a genuine reason to test the box early and often.

See the full AI analysisHead-to-head analysis
This fixture has produced open recent meetings, with both clubs recording victories and the latest encounter at Roudourou going Saint-Étienne’s way. Guingamp have also shown in this pairing that they can hurt Saint-Étienne away from home, so the historical series offers little comfort to either defence.
Injuries and absences
Guingamp are without Koffi and N’Landu, weakening Ripoll’s options for midfield balance and continuity. Saint-Étienne’s longer-term absence is goalkeeper Larsonneur, leaving Ndiaye exposed to a potentially physical aerial examination.
