Saint-Étienne aim to stay grounded and avoid Dunkerque pitfall in chase for sixth league win | OneFootball

Saint-Étienne head to Dunkerque seeking a sixth consecutive league victory, mindful that the venue has not been kind to them.

According to Le Progres, their last two visits to the Marcel-Tribut stadium both ended in 1-0 defeats at the 5,000-seat ground.

In February 2024, a thunderous post-match outburst from Larsonneur in the mixed zone was followed by an eight-match unbeaten run under Olivier Dall’Oglio.

By contrast, the December 2025 trip to the Côte d’Opale marked the start of distrust towards Eirik Horneland.

Saint-Étienne approach this latest journey north with caution, aiming to stay grounded and avoid another Dunkerque trap as they look to extend their sequence.
