SAINT-ETIENNE, France (Interstat) — Saint-Etienne II hosts Troyes on Saturday, April 25, 2026, in a Ligue 2 matchup at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard, with both teams seeking consistency after mixed recent results.

Saint-Etienne II enters the game following a 5-0 loss at Bastia on April 19, its second defeat to Bastia in as many days after a 2-0 loss on April 18. The reserve side has struggled for form, with only one win in its last five matches: a 2-0 victory over Balma U19 on April 12. Saint-Etienne II has shown defensive fragility, conceding three or more goals in three of its last six outings.

Troyes, meanwhile, arrives off a 2-2 draw at Thonon Evian Grand Geneve FC on April 18, a result that extended an unbeaten run to four matches across all competitions. The visitors have been prolific in attack, scoring 12 goals in their last five matches, including a 5-1 win at Dunkerque U19 on March 21 and a 4-2 victory at FC Sochaux-Montbeliard on March 14. However, Troyes also has defensive lapses, allowing two goals in each of its last three games.

The teams met most recently on Nov. 8, 2025, when Saint-Etienne II won 3-2 at Troyes.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 1-1 draw, reflecting the teams’ contrasting trajectories: Troyes’s upward trend against Saint-Etienne II’s recent struggles.
