PAU vs Saint Etienne
Neither team is in great form right now. Pau have lost most of their recent games and are struggling to get results, while Saint Etienne have also been beaten several times recently, though they did win their last match. So both sides come into this one looking a little shaky, and it's hard to say either is clearly playing well.
When these two have met in recent years, the games have been quite eventful - there have been some big scorelines and plenty of goals, including a couple of heavy wins on each side. That suggests this could be an open match rather than a tight, cautious one. Given how up-and-down both teams are, this looks like a close game, and a draw seems like a fair outcome.
