3 victories, 4 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Guingamp have to build on here at Stade du Roudourou in the Ligue 2.
Happy days for Guingamp in their previous game, a Ligue 2 match away at Châteauroux (placed 16th) that ended with a 5-1 victory. Preceding that match was the home game against Troyes that was lost 0-1.
