PAU vs Saint-Étienne, 11 December 2026, Ligue 2: form, head-to-head and match facts

PAU travel to Saint‑Étienne as the league’s bottom‑half side, sitting sixteenth with just five points from one win, two draws and three defeats and a modest –1 goal difference, while the hosts sit atop the table on 15 points after an unbeaten run of five victories from six games and a healthy +11 goal margin. The stark contrast in form means Saint‑Étienne will enter the match as overwhelming favorites, looking to extend their lead at the summit, whereas PAU will be desperate for a points‑boost to climb out of the relegation zone. Their head‑to‑head record offers little comfort for the visitors, as the French side have historically dominated the fixture. Nonetheless, PAU’s lone win this season shows they can scrape points, and a surprise result could keep the title race wide open.
