**Saint-Étienne rolls in as the Ligue 2 juggernaut, and Guingamp's home turf might not be enough to derail a side on a four-win streak.** 🔥 This is a David vs. Goliath energy check for the hosts.

Guingamp's been streaky—two wins sandwiched between three losses—while ASSE just demolished everyone in sight. The visitors haven't dropped points in their last five, so expect a controlled, clinical performance. Guingamp will need to lean hard on their home crowd to generate chaos.

Key storylines:

- **Saint-Étienne's relentless form**: Four wins in five is title-contender territory; stopping **A. Boakye** and **I. Cardona** up top won't be straightforward.
- **Guingamp's injury or fatigue factor**: The hosts have gone cold recently and **S. Kielt** will need to spark something up front.
- **H2H weight**: Saint-Étienne dominate the historical record (12 wins to 6), adding psychological edge to the visitors' favor.

Expected lineups:

- **Guingamp**: A. Ortolá, T. Ollila, A. Demouchy, D. Gomis, E. Koffi, T. Averlant, D. Louiserre, T. Ahile, S. B. Brahim, S. Kielt, A. Hemia
- **Saint-Étienne**: G. Larsonneur, B. Old, S. Nair, M. Bernauer, K. Pedro, Á. Csongvai, J. L. Cardinal, T. Ballo, J. Breum, A. Boakye, I. Cardona

Prediction:

**0-1 Saint-Étienne**. Slight favorite for the visitors; a single breakthrough goal and defensive lockdown feels on-brand for their current run. 🎯
