Ligue 2 returns with another round of fixtures as Niort welcomes St-Etienne to the Stade Rene Gaillard for an important clash.

Niort will head into this game following an impressive run of performances. They are currently on a 4 game unbeaten run and will be looking to extend that record. This recent surge of resilience might be a turning point in their season as they will be looking to climb higher up the table. Going into this game, Niort have been very impressive at home as they have avoided defeat in 5 of their last 6 home games.

St-Etienne on the other hand will go into this game following a horrific run of performances which has seen them emerge with only one victory in their last 5 games. They fell to defeat on three occasions while managing just one draw. Looking further back has shown that St Etienne have struggled greatly for consistency this season with no luck, as they have suffered 7 defeats and 2 draws in their last 11 games, conceding an embarrassing total of 17 goals in that time period. They are bottom placed in the league in 20th position and will not be too confident going into this game.

Looking at the records have shown that Niort have the clear advantage in this fixture. They are in a much better recent form going into this game with their 4-game unbeaten run and they will be hoping to build on that. St-Etienne on the other hand will head into this game having the worst defense in the league, after a series of terrible performances has seen them concede 31 goals this season. We are backing the home side, Niort, here as we expect them to do enough to avoid a defeat by either securing a victory or by earning a well fought draw.

法甲带着另一轮的比赛回归，因为尼奥特欢迎圣艾蒂安来到雷内盖拉德球场进行一场重要的比赛。

在经历了一场令人印象深刻的表现后，尼奥尔特将在这场比赛中登场。他们目前有4场比赛保持不败，并将继续保持不败。最近这种反弹可能是他们本赛季的一个转折点，因为他们将寻求在积分榜上爬得更高。在这场比赛中，纽特在主场的表现令人印象深刻，他们在过去的6个主场比赛中有5个避免了失败。

另一方面，圣埃蒂安在过去5场比赛中只取得了一场胜利，在经历了可怕的表现之后，他们将进入这场比赛。他们三次失败，只取得了一场平局。回顾过去，圣艾蒂安本赛季一直在努力保持稳定，运气不好，因为他们在过去的11场比赛中遭遇了7负2平，在这段时间内丢了17个球，令人尴尬。他们在联赛中排名垫底，排在第20位，在这场比赛中他们不会太有信心。

从比赛记录来看，纽特在这场比赛中拥有明显的优势。在这场比赛中，他们最近的状态要好得多，他们已经取得了4场不败，他们希望能在此基础上继续前进。另一方面，圣艾蒂安将在这场比赛中拥有联赛中最差的防守，在本赛季一系列糟糕的表现让他们丢了31个球之后。我们支持主队，Niort，因为我们希望他们能够通过确保胜利或赢得一场精彩的平局来避免失败。
