It's a new beginning in Ligue 2 - the first match of the season. Read this full guide and see how Guingamp and Pau did in their pre-season training matches!
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Pau, who are travelling more than 800 kilometers to play this game.
Guingamp form and stats
In the previous season, Guingamp's league statistics were 15 wins, 13 draws and 10 losses, results that produced 6th place in the Ligue 2. Over these 38 matches they scored 52 goals and conceded 48. Playing as the home team in the previous season Guingamp generated 9-6-4 (win-draw-lost) with 31 goals and 24 conceded.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Guingamp matches with similar probabilities have ended with 1 win, 3 draws and 0 defeats (from 4 games).
It's been an intense period of training leading up to this game for Guingamp, who have participated in six training matches. Guingamp have won 5 of these, drawn 0 and were beaten in 1 game.
Pau form and stats
Let's have a look at how Pau performed last season in the Ligue 2: They landed a 10th position in the league table after playing out 14 victories, 7 draws and 17 defeats. In total they scored 41 and conceded 49 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 4 - drew 5 and lost 10 with 16/29 goals scored/conceded.
That win felt good as this team had gone three league fixtures without winning.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Pau playing away, we found 5 games. Results were 0 away wins, 1 draw and 4 home wins.
It's finally time to play a game of importance again as a long period of training has passed. Pau have played a number of friendly games in this period, resulting in 1 win, 0 draws and 0 defeats from one fixture.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the preceeding four meetings between these two sides are: two wins for Guingamp, zero draws and two wins for Pau. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: two games.Guingamp missing players
