Guingamp form and stats
When playing at home in the Ligue 2, Guingamp have managed 4 wins, 5 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 12 games. Three draws from their last three home games means a steady supply of points here at Stade du Roudourou, but a victory now would be sweet for Guingamp.
The spoils were shared in Guingamp's previous game, also at home. Visiting Paris (placed 2nd) travelled back with a draw after a 1-1 scoreline. Merghem, who usually plays near the opponent's goal, was the champion performer for the team in that game, collecting a rating of 7.41 (out of 10). Merghem hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times and had 28 successful passes (of 33 total).
Before that match, a win away at Ajaccio.The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Guingamp have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found ten matches with the results: Won three, drawn four and lost three.
The Guingamp fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 12 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Guingamp have conceded 16 goals.
