Winning has double importance for St. Etienne in round 9 of France's Ligue 2, as not only do they need to climb up in the standings, but also continue through the path of recovery after a tough start of the season. This will be their main goal when they go on the road to face Guingamp. For this game, we suggest an away win or draw bet.

The 2022/23 did not start as planned for St. Etienne. If suffering relegation last season was hell on earth, the beginning of this new tournament surely seemed as a sequel to that nightmare. Five rounds went by withouth gettint a single triumph and suffering an extremely hard defeat playing home against Le Havre by 6-0.

That was surely the lowest point for the squad and it also seemed to be a wake up call, as they have not lost against since. It has been four games, with two draws and two wins, including a magnificent home win against Bastia, whom they hammered by 4-0. This way, it seems that they had to reach rock bottom in order to start their rebirth.

Guingamp, on their side, are having many ups and downs, struggling to find regularity after two consecutive wins in the start of the league. They won their last game by 6-3 playing away to metz, but their rivals had three expelled players, something that really influenced the final score. In their last four games, they have conceded nine goals, a very worrying statistic.

在法甲联赛第 9 轮中，胜利对圣艾蒂安来说具有双重意义，因为他们不仅需要在积分榜上攀升，还需要在本赛季艰难的开局后继续走上复苏之路。这将是他们在客场面对甘冈时的主要目标。对于这场比赛，我们建议客场获胜或平局。

2022/23 学年并未按圣艾蒂安的计划开始。如果说上赛季降级是人间地狱，那么这场新赛事的开始无疑是这场噩梦的续集。五轮比赛过去了，没有取得任何胜利，并且在主场以 6-0 击败勒阿弗尔时遭遇了极其惨烈的失利。

那肯定是球队的最低点，这似乎也是一个警钟，因为他们从那以后就没有输过。已经进行了四场比赛，两平两胜，其中包括主场对巴斯蒂亚的华丽胜利，他们以 4-0 击败巴斯蒂亚。这样一来，似乎他们必须达到谷底才能开始他们的重生。

甘冈这边，在联赛开局连胜两场后，起起落落，苦苦寻找规律。他们在上一场比赛中以 6-3 战胜梅斯，但他们的对手有 3 名球员被开除，这确实影响了最终比分。在过去的四场比赛中，他们丢了九个球，这是一个非常令人担忧的数据。
